A Catholic Academy Serving Children from Nursery School to Grade 8 in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn
St. Ephrem Catholic Academy students gathered to march together for the first time under the school banner at the 52nd annual Ragamuffin Parade. This long-standing tradition features youngsters marching in their costumes as they gear up for Halloween. This year our own James Jarah won in the individual costume category for his costume “I washed up on Shore Road”
Big thank you to all those that came out to march and cheer on our little guys and gals.
St. Ephrem Catholic Academy 8th graders received the Sacrament of Confirmation conferred by Bishop Tiedemann
We would like to thank the faculty, family, and friends who have guided and will continue to guide these young souls throughout their lives.
It was the first class of St. Ephrem Catholic Academy to receive and we welcome you to a greater part of your lives in faith.
St. Ephrem Catholic Academy is officially open. The parish community came together with Bishop Massa to bless our new Academy.
We are so happy to welcome new and returning faculty, students and parents.
We hope to live up to the legacy of St. Ephrem Catholic School!

Since 2011 St. Ephrem Schools teachers Mr. Ricky Diffendale and former teacher, Miss Jennifer Rizzuto, have been producing an amazing night of talent and fundraising for families in our community that have been affected by Cancer.
Monies raised are gifted to a family who is overcoming the obstacles Cancer poses. Each year Night For Hope is centered around specific cancer, this year it was Kidney Cancer.
Mr. D and Miss Rizzuto ask St. Ephrem parents and students to donate their time, recourses, and talents to help put one of our greatest nights.
Grade 2 has completed their 8-week program with the Center For Architecture.
Each student created a different building that we have in our own community. Some of our buildings include St. Ephrem School, St. Ephrem Church, houses, stores, and even the fire department. The students learned about architectural details and now know the different architectural vocabulary.
Today we were treated to the fruits of the 4th, 6th and 8th grades’ labors. These grades have been working all year on different projects. The 4th grade created stop-motion animation. The 6th grades wrote their own plays and the 8th grade performed an abridged version of Shakespeare Twelfth Night. We congratulate them all on a job very well done and look forward to next year were last years students get to pick up where they left off.
The Fourth grade’s animations:
The 8th grade gives an A+ effort in their performance of Twelfth Night:
Week 2:
Second grade creates their own blueprints using architectural vocabulary to label the different shapes they used.
Week 3:
The students are beginning to create our neighborhood. Each student has been assigned a building to design. Their first step is to draw the building before they actually begin to create them.
On March 1st St. Ephrem celebrated Chinese New Year with a visit from a traditional Lion Dance team.
Today the Kindergarten celebrated Chinese New Year. We hope all of our Chinese friends and neighbors have a safe and lucky new year. We look forward to continuing the celebration with a Lion dance on March 1st.
