Students who work with PARC learn to advocate for themselves and their learning styles, helping improve our educational environment. Because of the recent success of the Center, siblings can stay together in the same school, and students who previously struggled with academics can regain a love of learning. PARC-supported students are fully integrated into our curriculum and can sing, eat, learn, and grow together – without stigma. The PARC program ensures that we can achieve the Academy's central goal: to give every student a voice and a sense of purpose 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.
