At 82nd Street Academics, our mission extends far beyond academics. We are deeply committed to fostering a learning environment and a community where every individual feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. As part of that commitment, our team proudly joined the 2025 Queens Pride Parade to stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ students, families, staff, and neighbors.

​

Participating in the parade was more than just a celebration, it was a reflection of our values: equity, inclusion, and the belief that every child deserves a safe and welcoming space to grow, learn, and express themselves freely. We marched with purpose, joy, and pride surrounded by vibrant energy, community leaders, and allies who share our vision for a more inclusive future.
