You are invited to visit Staten Island's only non-profit, independent school. Yes, we are in New York City but it certainly doesn't feel that way! We are located on a beautiful 12-acre campus on Todt Hill. We are small, personal and friendly. Come to one of our many Open Houses, take a tour, see the classrooms, the art barn, the science and computer labs and library. After you visit Staten Island Academy you will see the difference. Our students and teachers shine! OUR MISSION Beginning our second century as a co-educational college preparatory school, Staten Island Academy is committed to providing a child-centered education of superior quality. Enrolling students in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade, our objective is educating the whole child, while fostering intellectual, creative, social and physical development. Within a collegial campus environment, in small classes, and through extracurricular activities, we encourage our students to participate actively in an educational community that promotes ethical leadership, self-reliance and critical thinking. Believing in the inherent strenghts of a diverse citizenry, we celebrate the cultural difference, individual interests and personal talents of our student body.
