The school began in March 1919, with the purchase of the 14-acre estate of William Knauth by Reverend Mother M. Kostka Bauer. In May of that year, the Daughters of Divine Charity arrived on Staten Island and in the fall inaugurated tutoring classes for a group of twenty-five children who had come to them during the summer. These classes led to the institution of the academy. During the school\'s early years, it was also a boarding school. The school\'s first secondary-level classes were begun in 1930, and the first official commencement exercises were held for six high school graduates in June 1934. At that time, the school was affiliated with the Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. In 1938, the high school department received its charter of recognition and full accreditation from the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York.
