Founded in 1863, Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn provides diverse young men and women with a character-building preK-12 education that instills a sound academic foundation and humanistic morality and ethics. Emphasizing a “global village” perspective, Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn attracts a significant cohort of international students who bring diverse viewpoints to a traditional curriculum centered on English, Science, Math, History, the Arts, and Physical Education.
The Academy’s Early Childhood Development Program begins with young pupils guided through activities in playrooms, labs, and classrooms that emphasize structured growth and learning. This builds self-esteem and a positive orientation toward learning, as pupils explore social units beyond their family. Faculty select music, crafts, books, toys, and games designed to spark curiosity and immersive engagement in the fundamentals of learning. Children make measurable strides toward mastering defined tasks and comprehending challenging, yet foundational, concepts.
For families, the Adelphi journey begins with an admission process designed to be simple, straightforward, and comprehensive. Family interviews are two-part and give parents, guardians, and students a chance to meet other students, observe classes, and ask pertinent questions of dedicated staff. The aim is to make as good a fit between students and classes and the school as possible.
