COURIER LIFE, J DT AN. 25–31, 2019 27
Offering an enriching curriculum and individualized
attention that prepare children to excel
When St. Patrick Catholic Academy
opened for this year, students
were delighted to see the transformation
that took place in their
school over the summer, including
being awarded accreditation by the
AdvancED global network.
Renovations at the Bay Ridge
school included the creation of a new
nursery classroom and the freshening
up of other facilities. In the past
year, a long-needed renovation of the
school’s library was completed, and
air conditioning was installed in all
classrooms. The library has continued
to be updated, and is now fullyautomated
with the Follett Destiny
program, giving students a greater
opportunity to learn and conduct research.
Last year, an $85,000 grant
from the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
Trust funded the installation of a
LabLearner STEM lab, an brand new
in-school laboratory for physical,
earth and life science experimental
activities for kindergarten through
8th Grade.
NYS Regents courses are also offered
in Algebra, Living Environment
and Earth Science. Last year,
100% of the eighth grade passed the
Algebra I Regents Exam, and 90% of
the seventh & eighth grade passed the
Living Environment Regents Exam.
Registration is now open for the
2019-2020 school year, starting at the
Nursery level, which offers half-day
and full-day options. Tours are offered
each Tuesday at 9:30AM (no
appointment necessary). Please visit
www.stpatrickca.org or email admission@

Since 1961, Bishop Kearney High
School has provided educational
opportunities to over 15,000 young
women from Brooklyn and beyond.
With a focus on preparation for the
world of work, students receive a
faith-based education that enables
them to explore their individual talents,
while focusing on efficacy, responsibility,
and social justice. Especially
impressive is the class of 2018,
which had a 100% college acceptance
rate; 96% earned more than $22 million
in merit-based college scholarships.
Kearney is growing its focus on
project-based learning. An educational
method that challenges students
to respond to complex questions
addressing real world problems,
project-based learning helps students
access deeper knowledge and understanding
through investigation,
ownership, and public demonstration
of their findings.
Kearney boasts a state-of-the-art
STEAM Wing, where students can
brainstorm solutions to problems big
and small in the think tank, research
new and unfamiliar worlds using
virtual reality, draw up plans in the
digital art studio, and make prototypes
for their potential solutions in
the fabrication lab.
Bishop Kearney will continue its
commitment to introducing our students
to the world of STEAM, and instilling
in them a love of knowledge
and a passion for discovery through
project-based learning. Kearney
students represent the future female
workforce, and will be prepared for
productive and inspiring careers in
growing fields like engineering and
computer science.
