The Saratoga Independent School's mission is to empower each student to become a confident learner who is capable of critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork.
SIS strives to equip children with the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in an increasingly complex world, while enriching each day of their childhood.
The educational program at the Saratoga Independent School is based on the belief that children learn best in an environment where each child is viewed as an individual with a unique learning style and distinct timetable for mastering skills. Curriculum is designed to develop children's knowledge and skill in all developmental areas--intellectual, emotional, social and physical.
Content is selected and instruction designed to develop children's self-esteem, sense of competence, critical thinking skills and enthusiasm for learning.

School Notes
Children learn in multiage instructional groups based upon
research on child development. We recognize that children`s
cognitive, physical, social and emotional abilities develop on a
timeline and in a sequence that is unique for each
child. Rather than teaching a one-size-fits-all curriculum
that targets the middle, our teachers use a variety of approaches
to reach every student, no matter his/her age, strengths or
learning style. Every student is challenged to reach great
heights.
We utilize a theme-based curriculum that engages children in
authentic hands-on learning activities.
Children learn and grow in an environment in which a high
priority is placed on respect and caring for one another.
School shootings and other emergency situations won't happen in your school, right? Who knows! Better to put in place the steps necessary to protect the school community than to be caught unprepared.
The average private school tuition in New York is $19,793 for elementary schools and $25,237 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
