This is a great private college prepatory school, from grades Pre-K through 12th Grade. Located on…read moreTodt 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!

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.

My daughter is currently in 4th grade and loves going to school every day. The teachers are nurturing, dedicated, and truly care about each child's academic and emotional growth. They go above and beyond to keep families informed and involved, and it's clear how much effort goes into creating a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment. Our son also attended [School Name] through 8th grade and had a fantastic experience. Thanks to the strong academic preparation he received here, he passed all of his Regents exams and transitioned into high school with confidence. He did very well academically, and we credit much of his success to the solid foundation built at this school. What we especially appreciate is the balance between strong academics and the focus on character development. Both of our children have not only grown as students but also as kind, respectful, and responsible individuals. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this school community and highly recommend it to any family looking for a caring, high-quality educational environment.
