ST JOSEPHS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF

What ST JOSEPHS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF does

St. Joseph's School for the Deaf (SJSD) is a private nonprofit educational institution founded in 1869 and located at 1000 Hutchinson River Parkway in the Bronx, New York. It is the oldest school for the deaf in New York State and a member of the New York State 4201 Association of schools for students with sensory disabilities. SJSD serves deaf and hard of hearing children from infancy through adolescence, along with their families, providing academic instruction delivered in American Sign Language by deaf and hearing educators with specialized training in deaf education.

The school's portfolio is organized around K-12 academic programming and a set of specialized wraparound services, including the Parent Deaf Infant Program for early intervention, the Family Education Program, clinical and therapeutic services such as speech therapy, the SJSD library, a Media and Technology program, summer school with STEM activities, and ASL classes for families and the community. Operational and communications infrastructure includes an eChalk-hosted website, the Spectrum annual newsletter, a community events calendar, and a volunteer program. SJSD also maintains an alumni network.

As a 4201 Association school, SJSD is primarily funded through New York State education funding rather than direct tuition charges, with supplementary revenue from donations (including via Zeffy) and community-facing activities such as ASL classes and events like the Big Apple Festival. The institution operates with a headcount of 42 employees and serves the New York City and surrounding Northeast region.
