Vision

Soundview Academy is dedicated to using various school-wide data sources, such as assessments, attendance, student and family engagement, social-emotional data, and community demographics, to create a learning environment that supports every student's holistic development.

We will ensure that student input is incorporated to develop fair and culturally sensitive curricula to each student's unique learning needs, empowering them to take charge of their education. Students will engage in authentic, challenging, performance-based tasks to demonstrate their understanding and proficiency. This will enable them to apply their learning in real-world scenarios.


Mission

  • To offer a college-preparatory curriculum that incorporates personalization into content-area instruction using major exhibitions and culminating tasks in alignment with the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards.
  • To prioritize intercultural awareness and expression through the arts and languages (English and Spanish) within the school day and extracurricular school life to support our core cultural mission.
  • To effectively support our students' social and emotional growth in the Scholars Advisory program and address their physical and mental health as integral to academic success.

CORE Values

We believe education is more than academics. It’s about shaping Scholars who are ready to thrive in every aspect of life. Character development is an essential component of the learning process and is woven into every part of their learning experience here.

To help our Scholars flourish, we live by our CORE values. By embodying our CORE values, our Scholars don’t just learn; they become active participants in their own growth and in building a better community. They also deepen their understanding and retention of academics and engage in a dynamic way.
