Scholarships Available for qualifying Families Scholarships Available for qualifying Families MASPETH, NY (January 20, 2016) – Are you looking for an academically challenging school with a strong foundation in Christian values that can guide your child from nursery through 8th grade? Well, St. Stanislaus Kostka School in the family-friendly neighborhood of Maspeth, Queens, can meet these needs and much more. Serving the parishes of St. Stan’s, Holy Cross and Transfiguration, St. Stan’s elementary program is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. In addition to the New York State Common Core curriculum, Principal Barbara DeMaio and her staff introduce a variety of learning experiences to their students, including computer technology, art, music, Spanish, physical education/gym and library. The school features a newly renovated technology center, as well as Wi-Fi access throughout the school and Smart Boards in all classrooms. “I’m proud to be part of a school that has served the community of Maspeth for 85 years,” says Principal DeMaio. “Our students are our top priority, and every effort is made to meet the varying abilities of the students through differentiated instruction.” To further encourage its students to excel, St. Stan’s offers an Algebra Common Core Enrichment Program to 8th grade students, and an emphasis is placed on building leadership skills and strengthening self-confidence through its Student Leadership Organization. All students are encouraged to participate in after-school activities, including the school band, drama club, scouting, CYO sports, cheerleading and the yearly Talent Show. These schoolrelated and after-school activities help students to identify their talents and abilities and develop to their fullest potential. To provide additional assistance for working parents, St. Stan’s has an Early Drop-Off Program at 7a.m., and for students in Nursery through Grade 6, the school offers an After-School Program from 3-6p.m. daily. For a small fee, these programs provide a safe haven for students to play and complete homework assignments under the supervision of St. Stan’s School staff. Martial Arts and Zumba classes are also included as part of the After-School Program. St. Stan’s has educational opportunities for younger children as well. “Pre-K for All” is a free program that is available to all students born in 2012. Open from 8a.m. to 2:20p.m., it provides instruction by licensed teachers who earned Masters in Early Childhood Education. Classroom activities include beginner science experiments, hands-on math experiences, creative art projects, and language/literacy enrichment activities. Children also have access to an indoor gym and a newly built outdoor on-site playground with state-of-the-art equipment. As part of the program, students also receive a nourishing breakfast and a hot lunch. In addition to “Pre-K for All,” St. Stan’s has reasonably priced half-day (8:10-11:10a.m.) and full-day (8:10a.m.-2:50p.m.) Nursery Programs for all children born in 2013 that are potty-trained. “I love the school,” says Rose Grodensky, the grandparent of two St. Stan’s students in grades 4 and 6. “Ms. DeMaio is a dedicated principal, and the teachers and office staff are great. St. Stan’s offers a small, family environment; a real home away from home for my grandchildren.” Free remedial math and language programs are available for students who need additional academic support and guidance. And, to ensure the physical safety and well-being of its students, St. Stan’s has a full-time Department of Health nurse on-staff. As a testament to St. Stan’s academic excellence, the 2015 graduating class collectively earned more than $144,500 in Catholic High School scholarships. Regis, Xavier, Archbishop Molloy, St. Francis Prep, The Mary Louis Academy, Dominican Academy, Monsignor Mc- Clancy, LaGuardia, Brooklyn Latin, Martin Luther High School and Maspeth High School are among the schools that students go on to attend.
