With small class sizes, individualized attention, and a holistic approach to education, every student is empowered to grow with confidence, compassion, and purpose.

As Long Island’s oldest private boarding and day school, Knox carries forward a legacy of excellence that spans over a century. Our faculty are mentors and guides, fostering both achievement and integrity in a warm, family-like environment. Here, tradition meets innovation—and students are prepared not just for top universities, but for lives of leadership, resilience, and meaningful impact.
