St. Stanislaus Kostka
Catholic Academy of Queens
Queens
Celebrating its 90th anniversary,
St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic
Academy of Queens welcomes
students from nursery
through eighth grade and offers
a Pre-K for All program that
welcomes four-year-olds.
The best descriptions of a school
do not come from its administration.
They come from the students and their families.
St. Stanislaus Kostka has been referred to
as “the happy school,” a second home, a truly
wonderful school, a place with a very dedicated
staff and a board that strives to ensure that the
children receive the best possible education
while having fun in a family environment!
St. Stan’s is not merely a school. It is a place
where students gain a differentiated, faithbased,
academic foundation on which to build
their education. They learn the value of family,
respect for all, self-control, student agency, and
form friendships that last forever.
The academic curriculum is delivered in concert
with a child’s ability. The instruction is differentiated
and works towards increasing each
child’s level of understanding, accomplished
by using a mix of blended learning, technology
and small group instruction. Time is devoted
for children to work at their own level of understanding,
whether remedial or enrichment. The
school offers SETTS teachers, speech therapy,
occupational therapy, and Title 1 funded math
and reading.
St. Stan’s is not merely
a school. It is a place
where students gain a
differentiated, faith-based,
academic foundation
on which to build their
education.
Coupled with educational experiences
gained from interacting with an inquiry-based
state of the art STREAM Lab, the students will
learn and be engaged. STREAM stands for
Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art,
and Mathematics. St. Stan’s STREAM Lab is
filled with devices that include Ozobots, Little
Bits, Cubelits, 3D printers and other materials
that stimulate creativity and inquiry skills to
solve problems.
St. Stan’s believes in educating
the whole child and offers a free
after-school Musical Theater
Program, open to students
from nursery through eighth
grade. Participants are taught
acting skills, singing and dancing.
Many past Oratorical Assembly
winners and finalists have taken the
poise and on-stage skills learned in the Musical
Theater Program and applied them to public
speaking. Much more than just a “school play,”
this program teaches everything from performing
to stage management, set design, operation
of light and sound boards, and production
management. Students have discovered talents
and interests that only became apparent
through their involvement in this program!
The St. Stan’s Performing Arts Players present
at least one musical theater production a
year, and perform at community and parish
events. As St. Stan’s begins its 12th year, it continues
to move with the times, developing virtual
and socially distant performances.
St. Stan’s also takes pride in being a 1:1
school - one device for the exclusive use of
each student. Students seamlessly made the
transition to distance learning due to their familiarity
with the use of technology and device
use in school. Homeroom teachers presented
at least two live instructional lessons daily, and
teachers of special subjects delivered a weekly
live lesson. Special subjects include art, music,
physical education, Spanish, STREAM, technology,
and writer’s workshop.
Catholic Identity is strong at St. Stan’s.
Weekly Masses, daily prayer, Advent and Lenten
gatherings, prayer services, remembrances,
observations of holy days, and service projects
are just a few of the ways students practice
their faith. Students are taught to engage with
each other in a caring and respectful way, always
reflecting on the feelings of others with
empathy and compassion.
Joining St. Stan’s means being embraced
by its academy family. Each child and family
is welcomed and provided with many opportunities
to engage in activities in and out of the
classroom!
