As we have already witnessed, students who work with the PARC learn to advocate for themselves and for their learning styles, which help to improve our educational environment. Because of the recent success of the resource center, siblings can stay together in the same school and students who previously struggled with academics are able to regain a love of learning. Now, because of support PARC students receive, they are fully integrated into our curriculum, and they are able to sing, eat, learn and grow together, without any form of stigma. The PARC program ensures that we can achieve the Academy's central goal - to give each and every student a voice and a sense of place in every area of their education.

Our goal is to provide access to every young person of talent from the New York and New Jersey area to a Staten Island Academy education, regardless of need.

A healthy endowment fund will provide Admissions Office the necessary funding to enable the Director to attract aspiring and deserving students of great potential to Staten Island Academy.

This Fund will allow us to remain highly competitive in attracting the best students in the area to the Academy.
