Choosing one school for your child’s entire Pre-K-12 academic experience offers many benefits, especially when that school is Staten Island Academy, Staten Island’s only independent Pre-K-12 school(opens in new tab). Investing in an independent education will empower your child to grow into a knowledgeable, empathetic, well-rounded individual with endless experiences to draw upon and limitless opportunities ahead of them.
Build on Strong Educational Foundations
Attending the Academy from Pre-K3 through Grade 12 offers seamless educational continuity – and exceptional access to a high-quality independent education. As students progress through the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools, they build upon a sound pedagogical foundation carefully designed to be consistent and cohesive to maximize their learning potential. A breadth of over 100 course offerings, strong communication between faculty, students, and the larger Staten Island Academy family, and our purposefully small class sizes(opens in new tab) ensure that students benefit from tailored, individualized learning from year to year. The educational transition between the three Schools is a particular focus, and our “Lifer” students enjoy a positive, supportive academic experience that positions them for further growth in future years.
Join a Strong and Like-Minded Community
The Academy is a close-knit and intentional community by design. With some 300 families, 75 educators and staff, and over 3,000 alums nationwide, we provide a warm, supportive environment of like-minded individuals – and access to an active network of mentors, advisors, and success stories. Our classes average just 15 students, creating an environment where students are challenged, supported, and encouraged while becoming confident, compassionate leaders, bold advocates, and happy individuals with a strong sense of self. A wealth of sports and extracurricular opportunities, together with the Academy’s House System, foster participation and belonging. Academy “Lifers” establish bonds that endure well after graduation and will serve them well in their personal and professional lives.
An Education of Unique Experiences
The Academy is exceptional in many ways, and “Lifer” students who attend the school from Pre-K3 through Grade 12 are uniquely positioned with a confidence in thought and action. Our 12-acre campus is evocative of a college setting and offers various off-campus excursions, service initiatives, and guest lectures. These experiences are formative in many ways and shape “Lifer” students into their most capable, most confident selves.
