Staten Island Academy

A school which condones bullying and racism. For years I was called ethnic/​racial slurs by many male students. I did not associate with these people nor provoke them to do such a thing. All the headmaster did was asked 1 Young Man to apologize. They did not repramand him what so ever. I had an expensive laptop stepped on spitefully for no reason by a major bully in my class. My parents went to the headmaster. She basically told them they arę wasting her time. This really goes to show that money does not buy class.

This is a great private college prepatory school, from grades Pre-​K through 12^th Grade. Located on Todt Hill in Staten Island, their campus is large & beautiful, with rolling grounds, sports fields (soccer, track, football, etc), a large multi-​building setup, including a very nice common area with 2 glass sides & a large auditorium. I have attended many events here since my niece has started school here 5 years ago. The teachers are incredible, class size small (10 – 14 students average/​class), excellent extra curricular activities, & attentive administrators.
The cost is very expensive ($ 26K for Kindergarten), but if you are of the mindset that private school is the only option for your children (as I am), then this is as good a place to send your children as any, particularly if you don’t want to transport them to NYC. Graduates go to excellent colleges, and many obtain sports and/​or academic scolarships. Students are very well rounded, with exposure to the arts, music, drama, all types of sports, as well as academic excellence.
A good choice for your child!

I was fortunate enough to attend SIA and my time there left an indelible mark on me. The teachers truly care about the students, not only as students but as people. As an adult, I am still in contact with some of my teachers. Going back to visit campus almost makes me feel like I am returning home. I know it is expensive, but they offer many scholarships and the cost is a small price to pay for the quality. SIA taught me much more than just math or English… I learned empathy, responsibility, integrity and a sense of duty not instilled in students today.
