Fortes in Unitate

Chaminade High School has been serving the Long Island community since its founding in 1930. The school is owned and operated by the Society of Mary, the Marianists, and is named after Blessed William Joseph Chaminade. Blessed Chaminade founded the order as a priest working to evangelize post-revolutionary France.


Our 1,700 men study a rigorous co-curricular, 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 the core subjects, physical education, three years of 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.


More than 90% of Chaminade students are engaged in one or more school activities, and more than half participate on interscholastic athletic teams.

For the last 86 years, the Chaminade Family has grown to include more than 19,000 alumni -- and many more parents, grandparents, and friends.
