About Chaminade High School
Chaminade High School has served the Long Island community since its founding in 1930.

Blessed Chaminade founded the order as a priest working to evangelize post-revolutionary France.

Our 1,600 men study a rigorous liberal arts curriculum in an atmosphere that emphasizes the development of Christian community and education of the heart. That program consists of four years of English, Mathematics, Religion, Science, Social Studies, and Physical Education; three years of World Language and Fine Arts; and one year of Health. Chaminade graduates are fully prepared for the most demanding of college curricula, and each year, 100% of Chaminade graduates attend colleges, universities, prep schools, and service academies.
