SAINT SAVIOUR HIGH SCHOOL: A Day in the Life
As you enter 588 6th Street, Park Slope, Brooklyn, our assistant principal greets you.
At your locker, you chat with friends while organizing for morning classes. If it is your
birthday, your locker will be decorated in your favorite colors. Before homeroom,
some students will be working in our Greenhouse classroom on her science research
project. Down in the Art Room students are busily working on projects class- and
club-related. On the third floor, the Gospel Choir or instrumental ensemble might be
practicing for a liturgy or concert. In guidance, seniors are sharing college
acceptances and scholarship awards. All this activity and the day hasn’t even
officially begun.
And what a day it will be, with English classes where you explore the nuances of poetry;
with math and science classes that teach you about the universe as manifest in the
laws of physics; with history classes that will open a door to the past as a way to
understanding the present; religion classes discovering Faith in the Media or with
foreign language classes where you discover your love of language. In between, there
will, of course, be breaks: for lunch, where you can share stories and jokes over a plate
of Marco’s delicious cheese fries; for P.E., where you can practice yoga to relax the
mind and body as you prepare for midterms; for study halls, where you can return to
the greenhouse room or library to complete an article for the newspaper or research
Australia and Hawaii, our next international destinations.
2:36 pm: “Have a good afternoon, you are now dismissed . . .”, but the day is not done, as
a myriad of extracurricular activities awaits including play practice, community service
projects, extra help sessions, team practices and playoff games.
But don’t take my word for it: find out for yourself. Join us for a Buddy Day or a tour!

BAY RIDGE CATHOLIC ACADEMY
Bay Ridge Catholic Academy is a new school offering a unique and innovative
engineering and arts focused curriculum.
This exciting new academy will provide children with a foundation for life through a
commitment to Catholic social teaching themes, alongside engineering design,
integration of the arts, and problem-solving skills development.
School life at Bay Ridge Catholic is anchored in the traditions and teachings of the
Catholic faith focusing on the belief that the spirit of God dwells in each of us and
the belief that combining the process thinking of engineering with the creativity of
the arts best prepares each student to meet the challenges of the future.
Students are encouraged to discover and develop their individual talents, to
respect the differences of others, and to become independent learners. Bay Ridge
Catholic will provide a safe and supportive environment in which our children learn
and grow.
The new Bay Ridge Catholic Academy will be housed in the former St. Anselm
building. Facility renovations will include:
• New classroom furniture and design that supports student engagement and
collaboration to be installed in more than half the classrooms prior to 2020-21 school
year. Remaining classrooms will be upgraded prior to 2021-2022 school year.
Bay Ridge Catholic will continue the traditions of St. Anselm and Holy Angels
Academies. Building upon this history, we will continue to inspire an engaged
Catholic family community through ongoing events and programs that allow
students and their parents to build friendships that will last a lifetime
The new Bay Ridge Catholic welcomes all students and is aligned with the Bay Ridge
parishes of St Anselm, Our Lady of Angels and St. Andrew the Apostle.
