Saint Saviour Catholic Academy

What Saint Saviour Catholic Academy does

Saint Saviour Catholic Academy (SSCA) is a nonprofit K-8 Catholic academy located at 701 Eighth Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn, serving approximately 275 students from Nursery (age 3) through Grade 8. Founded in 1909 under the care of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the institution was renamed and reorganized under a Board of Directors in September 2012 as part of a transition to the academy model, while remaining under the oversight of the Diocese of Brooklyn and aligned with 10 area parishes. The academy is governed by a two-tier board structure (Board of Trustees and Board of Members) and, in June 2024, appointed its first School President, Dean J. Fusto, alongside Principal Matthew Artigas.

SSCA delivers a standards-aligned curriculum built on the Responsive Classroom approach and New York State Next Generation Learning Standards, with differentiated instruction and an interdisciplinary STEM focus. Core technology consists of Smart Boards and Promethean Boards in all K-8 classrooms, a 1:1 Chromebook program for grades 6-8 running on Google Classroom, and Spanish instruction from grades 2-8. Enrichment includes First Lego League robotics for grades 7-8, band and chorus for grades 5-8, an after-school program with enrichment classes (Art in the Studio, Silly Science, Puppet Workshop, Yoga, Origami, World Drumming), and TACHS preparation. Small class sizes of 12-18 students (never over 20) and approximately 40 faculty and staff (majority with graduate degrees) support the school's positioning.

The academy generates revenue primarily through tuition, billed via FACTS/RenWeb under annual, four-payment, or ten-month plans, with a $200 discount for K-8 families paying in full by April 1, 2026. Supplementary recurring revenue comes from after-school programming (dismissal to 6 PM) and early drop-off (from 7:30 AM). A $100 non-refundable application fee and an annual Spring Social fundraiser (exceeding $80,000 in 2025) provide additional income. Financial aid is delivered through the Diocese's Futures in Education program and an in-house SSCA tuition assistance fund. Admissions are managed by Director Michele Singh via rolling admissions, school tours, buddy days, and open houses for Early Childhood and Middle School programs.
