Martin de Porres School
Overview
Today the School celebrates many years of Touching the Hearts and Minds of Troubled Youth. Over 400 children and young men and women now attend our educational programs in Elmont and Far Rockaway.
WE CREATE an environment where personal change can begin — an environment that is safe, secure, comfortable, and challenging : an environment that provides concrete reminders to our students that they are competent, important and protected.
WE TEACH all who have been entrusted to our care that they are lovable and worthwhile persons capable of making responsible choices based upon respect for themselves and for the other persons in their lives and capable of establishing relationships of trust among our diverse community of adults and peers.
