I frequently walk from the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport to the Renaissance Charter School area in Jackson Heights, and vice versa. In good weather it's an easy walk straight along 82nd Street, perhaps two miles at most, probably less. The main terminal is somewhat farther away, and you can approach it via 94th Street, about half a mile east of 82nd. But there is no need to walk. If you are coming from LaGuardia, take the Q33 bus from the main terminal and get off at 37th Avenue and 82nd Street. Walk one short block west on 37th Avenue to 81st Street, turn the corner to the right, and there you are.
If you are coming from Manhattan via public transportation, the easiest thing to do is to take the Q32 bus. You can pick it up near Penn Station on West 32nd Street just east of 7th Avenue, or anywhere along Madison Avenue from East 32nd up to East 59th Street. It leaves you off diretly in front of the Renaissance Charter School on 81st Street near 37th Avenue.
By subway, you would take the No. 7 Flushing Line local train to the 82nd Street elevated station. When you get out, you would walk one long block north (opposite direction of traffic) along 82nd Street to 37th Avenue which you cross, and then turn left and walk one short block west to 81st Street. Make a right turn and there's the school.
