Portrait of a Graduate

For 150 years, St. Stanislaus Kostka Academy has been changing lives. Our alumni have gone on to be successful musicians and entrepreneurs, chefs and CEOs, doctors and lawyers, archeologists and investment bankers, religious nuns and priests, parents and life-long learners. They credit St. Stan's with instilling in them a sense of self, community, leadership, love of God, and inherent curiosity.

What students begin at St. Stan's leads to a life of focus, service, and limitless achievement. That's why our alumni are St. Stan's greatest accomplishment.

St. Stanislaus Kostka Academy graduates move on to the most academically challenging, competitive selective-enrollment high schools in the city. What’s more important is that they thrive wherever they go.

When our 8th graders graduate and leave our school, they have become lifelong learners with a strong sense of integrity and community. They demonstrate concern for others, civility, and positive leadership skills.
