When Saint Raymond Academy for Girls opened its doors in 1960, our motto was Commitment to Excellence. Today, almost fifty years later, our motto has not changed.  Saint Raymond Academy for Girls is educating young ladies much the same as it always has, in a small, caring, safe environment where dedicated faculty go the extra step to ensure that our students are given every opportunity to achieve the excellence we strive for everyday, in every student. 

In this ever changing world, many of the aspects of our curriculum and activities have remained constant while at the same time moving in a forward direction to further enhance the education process. 

Academic Development:  Students are expected to earn four units of Religion, English and Social Studies; three units of a foreign language science and Math.  In addition to these there are a variety of electives within a discipline.  

Social and Cultural Development:  Service to others and promoting strong Christian values has always been part of the mission of the Academy.  Students may choose from a variety of activities to help meet the needs of the poor and less fortunate.  Activities such as the Band are bigger and better than ever!  Academy band members can be seen in several parades throughout the year and of course at the end of April at Band Revue! Varsity Sports Teams include Volleyball, Basketball and Softball.   

Support:  The school day extends before and after bells ring!  Dedicated faculty members are consistent, constant role models of excellence who support students in every way.  The faculty’scommitment to the students goes far beyond the classroom.   

Working together with the Archdiocese of New York, Monsignor John Graham, Pastor and Sr. Mary Ann D’Antonio, Principal are furthering the Academy’s commitment to excellence by renovating and recreating the physical plant of the Academy so that our students can continue to receive every opportunity that Saint Raymond Academy has always provided in a brand new state-of the art facility.  No longer will students have to go from the third floor of one building to the third floor of another. From 1909 to 1951 the building at 1725 Castle Hill Ave served as the Elementary School for St. Raymond’s Parish. Housed in what many remember as The Annex, the new ACADEMY, will include:  20 classrooms, a Library-Media Center with up to the minute resource information, 2 Science Labs: one, Physical Science Lab for Earth Science and Chemistry, the other, Living Environment Lab for Biology; an Art room, a Physical Fitness Center, an open-space area that will double as an eating area and gathering place for assemblies and meetings.  Exceptional care has been taken to include 21st Century technology while maintaining 20th Century charm.  Future plans include a rooftop garden for hosting events for alumnae, family and friends.

Principal: Sister Mary Ann D’Antonio
