For 148 years, Adelphi Academy has been in the forefront of educational excellence. The Academy is a small private, independent, continuing, co-educational, college preparatory day school offering classes from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th year. Its commitment to excellence is the same as it was in 1863 - to provide the very best education possible for every Adelphi student, to educate the total child and to motivate each student to seek and to achieve the highest standards of learning. Such goals provide an appropriate backdrop for a summer SIG session!

Adelphi Academy became the first school to educate women and prepare them for institutes of higher education and was the first school to incorporate Physical Education. Adelphi Academy also founded Adelphi College, now called Adelphi University. Located in Brooklyn, the academy is easily accessible by car or subway.
