Divine Wisdom is the most welcoming, caring school in New York. Significant resources are there to keep all students on level and ready for the next challenge. It is recognized as one of, if not the role model for Catholic schools in the city and beyond. It is unapologetically Catholic but welcoming to all. The beautiful diversity of its student body and significant number of non Catholic families attest to a school that gets it right.

The experience at DWCA has been amazing since day 1. The welcoming from the teachers and administrators has been outstanding. Was hesitant at first to send my son there due to haveing closer schools but 4 years later have both children enrolled and haven't regretted a single day. The school has become more of a 2nd faimly then just educational facility. The administrators are quick to answer any questions or concerns right away and the teachers treat my kids as if they are the only on in there classroom. The schools willingness to be open to any ideas and parent input is such an amazing attribute that really makes the parents feel like they are included. The boards attention to every year upgrading the facility and marketing sure the kids have all the new technologies at there disposal is key to keeping the school such an up to date, clean and comfortable learning environment. The ever evolving clubs and sports being included is becoming a awsome extension of the school.

I've been with DWCA for 3 years- most progressive Catholic school I've known. Great resources, strong academics, safe and welcoming environment. I enjoy a larger school with this much diversity, and in the past 2 years I've seen how the administration is evolving and open to change and new philosophies of education and community. I especially think the Board has been instrumental in their recent growth. I would recommend others ask about their Academy Family Association and how you can join.
