The mission of St. John Bosco Schools is to support parents in their God-given role as the primary educators of their children by cultivating the whole person--mind, body and soul--uniting spiritual life with work, study and play.  We were founded in the Spring of 2008 as an independent, non-public institution governed by a Board of Governors; we received a provisional charter as an education corporation from the Board of Regents of the State of New York in September of 2009; and we were accepted as candidates for accreditation with NAPC*IS (see below) in February of 2010.

Board of Governors
In addition to assisting with budgeting issues, our Board of Governors is responsible for the employment of a Headmaster to implement policies and oversee the day to day operations of the School. Additional duties of the Board include:

• Safeguarding the spiritual and academic integrity of the school;

• Preserving our philosophy and mission;

• Developing policy in the essential areas of staffing, admissions, curriculum and discipline;

• Devising long-range strategies and development programs that will meet the educational and financial needs of the school.

Accreditation
We are members of the National Association of Private Catholic* Independent Schools (NAPC*IS), and are presently candidates for accreditation through that body.  For over a decade NAPC*IS has:

• Provided an accreditation and teacher certification organization for private Catholic and independent schools;

• Promoted and assisted in the establishment of new private Catholic and independent schools;

• Assisted administrators and teachers of private Catholic and independent schools in applying Roman Catholic teachings and sound academic principles to education;

• Guaranteed the right of parents to choose an education for their children in accordance with their religious faith.
