Admissions

Greater New York Academy has been established primarily for the youth of the Greater New Conference in grades nine through twelve who express and demonstrate a sincere desire for a Christian education, and who pledge to live by the standards of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Students who are not affiliated with the Greater New York Conference will be accepted if space is available, and if they meet the admission requirements.

Greater New York Academy admits students regardless of race, religion, color, national and ethnic origin to all programs and activities generally made available to students at school, in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, and other Academy-administered programs.

Students seeking enrollment at Greater New York Academy should carefully study the school's principles and aims as described in the official school bulletin to determine if they are in accord with the purposes of their own lives.
