GREENBURGH ACADEMY

GREENBURGH ACADEMY is a public school that is part of the GREENBURGH-NORTH CASTLE UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in YONKERS, NY with about 132 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 12th Grade. With about 18 teachers, GREENBURGH ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

GREENBURGH ACADEMY, located at 108 Shonnard Place in Yonkers, NY, is a specialized therapeutic educational facility operating under the umbrella of the Greenburgh North Castle Union Free School District. The school is specifically designed to support students who face significant social, emotional, and behavioral challenges that may impede their ability to succeed in a traditional classroom setting. By integrating rigorous academic instruction with a robust clinical support system, the academy strives to provide a stable, structured environment that promotes personal growth, resilience, and educational attainment.

The school’s curriculum is centered on a "therapeutic milieu" approach, where classroom teachers, teaching assistants, social workers, and psychologists work collaboratively to address the individual needs of each student. Beyond core academics, GREENBURGH ACADEMY places a strong emphasis on character development and life skills, preparing students for transition to post-secondary education or vocational opportunities. Through its commitment to a holistic educational model, the academy aims to empower students to overcome obstacles, achieve their potential, and successfully reintegrate into their communities.
