Windsor Academy Educational Campus is a non-denominational private school
located on the grounds of the old Windsor Estate on Route 94 in New Windsor,
New York. The school carries dual certification from the New York State
Department of Education and the New York State Office of Children and Family
Services. It is one of the few private schools in Orange County that is both
owned and directed by a licensed educator with more than thirty-five years of
experience in the field. It also holds the unique distinction of providing a
complete educational program for children from six weeks of age through sixth
grade.
Windsor Academy is a Community School that offers resources and support not only
to its students and families but is available to meet the variety of
educational needs that may arise in the community in general. We serve as an
impartial advisor and resource team for anyone with educational concerns. We
also serve as both a training center for students from our local high school
and are a site for college field work and student teaching from the surrounding
colleges.
In addition to our program, which runs from September through June, we offer a
complete summer program, as well as morning and afternoon extended day programs
for both our students and those from the public schools. We do not close during
standard public school vacations and therefore also offer a relaxed activity
schedule for those students who need care while their own school is closed.
Windsor Academy is a center for learning, with an emphasis on the Arts, Music,
Foreign Language, Dance, Theater, Physical Education, Library Research, and
Computer Technology as integral parts of the entire academic day. Our small
class size and highly trained staff create an environment that is both safe
physically and emotionally for all our students. Interpersonal skills, problem
solving, and the on-going quest for new knowledge is evident on all levels.
Diversity is our strength both in student and staff populations. Mutual
respect, awareness of others' needs, and involvement in our community all help
prepare the students. We are participants in a number of Community Projects
throughout the year and partner with many of our local charities and
businesses. We utilize the resources of our community as part of our
educational program, whether it's as visitors to local facilities or as a site
for our neighbors to share their talents and training.
Windsor Academy is a complete school that nourishes, protects, and celebrates
our children's minds, bodies, and spirits.
