Mission Statement
Saint Patrick’s School, a Catholic co-educational institution of learning for students in grades Pre-K3 through 8, seeks to provide a total program of instruction, emphasizing the spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, cultural and physical development of every child. In a creative environment, St. Patrick’s School provides an exceptional, technology-enriched education to develop knowledge, stimulate growth and form life-enriching experiences. In this family atmosphere, we promote an environment where knowledge is constantly pursued, while providing the means to develop individual student skills and talents.

School Philosophy
Saint Patrick’s School is a non-discriminatory, Catholic, co-educational institution of learning for students in grades Pre-K3 through 8. The purpose of Saint Patrick’s School is to provide quality Catholic education to develop life-long learners in a God-centered atmosphere. Saint Patrick’s School acknowledges that a child’s development varies greatly from early childhood through adolescence; therefore academic and social needs should be met differently at each stage. The educational process, which begins with the parent, is enhanced by professional staff and faculty committed to the development of each student’s unique talents. In cooperation with families, we provide a total program of instruction based on the spiritual, academic, and physical needs of each child. All faiths are welcome.

The mission of Shrub Oak International School is to improve the lives of children, adolescents, and young adults on the autism spectrum. We help our students form positive relationships through individualized strength-based and passion-based learning, and equip them with the tools they need to develop friendships, navigate their communities, and maximize their potential. Our singular focus is each student’s success and happiness. 

Unequaled Student Experience: SOIS's innovative boarding and day programs, academics, life skills, and clinicla intervention are elements of every part of a student's day to maximize therapeutic and learning opportunities. The curriculum is grounded in the evidence-based principles of the SCERTS Model and Ziggurat Intervention. The highly skilled faculty incorporate Universal Design for Transition practices into Structured Teaching (TEACHH methods) and the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction to enhance engagement and learning. Real-life academic and social interpersonal skills are reinforced in job internships in local communities. 

Student life is rich with experiences that stimulate students' interests and expand their life skills. Campus activities include varied art studio work, music, swimming, sports, yoga, drama, horticulture, farming, and equestrian and animal therapy. Outings include utilization of Westchester and New York City resources such as, museums, theater, outdoor markets, and a wealth of other experiences.

Modern, Technology-Infused Campus: Set 127 acres located less than an hour from New York City, students learn in an environment full of sensory experiences that are enhanced by technology when appropriate. All aspects of the grounds and buildings have state-of-the-art security systems that keep residents safe.
