St. Dominic Academy is recognized as a highly competitive 7–12 grade college preparatory institution where motivated young women develop comprehensive skills to thrive through high school, college, and beyond. Our accelerated curriculum for high achieving 7th and 8th grade girls includes a rigorous academic course of study, various opportunities to excel in extracurriculars like dance, theatre, glee club, numerous athletic clubs, and more.
Empowering women for leadership since 1878, our alumnae can be found in every walk of life, from the financial wizard who headed the Global Management Group for Morgan Stanley, to the pediatrician who volunteers at a homeless shelter. They are partners in major accounting firms, federal judges, university administrators, poets, politicians, teachers, nurses, entrepreneurs, and more.
Right across the river from Manhattan, SDA’s student body mirrors the diversity of Hudson County — which boasts one of the most international populations in the country. We’d love to have you in our community.
