Our Mission:

The Young Women’s Leadership School of Staten Island (TYWLS of Staten Island) was established to nurture the intellectual curiosity and creativity of young women and to address their developmental needs. Learning is dynamic and participatory, enabling students to experience great success on many levels, especially in science, mathematics, and technology. Every TYWLS student is college bound. Nearly 100% of The Young Women’s Leadership Schools' graduates attend college. Students of TYWLS of Staten Island will grow academically and emotionally into leaders of their school, community, and the world. TYWLS strives to work with families to instill in all students a sense of community, responsibility, and ethical principles of behavior- characteristics that will help to make them leaders of their generation. Through exposure to technology, engagement in community service, and participation in action-research and interdisciplinary projects, students will elevate their voices and take responsibility for their community. At TYWLS of Staten Island, parents are partners and together we will support the experience as each leader is cultivated in Staten Island.
