Archbishop Molloy High School, a Catholic Marist School, offers a challenging academic program rooted in the Gospel. Molloy has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report® as an Outstanding American High School and was named an Exemplary Secondary School by the U.S. Department of Education. In the most recent graduating class, 370 students won over $88 million in college scholarships.
The curriculum includes a full range of Regents-level courses and many Advanced Placement courses which allow students to earn college credit while in high school. Our students participate in interscholastic sports, service programs, publications, language clubs, band, chorus, drama, art exhibits, Science Olympiad and research teams, and religious activities.
Molloy’s well-maintained facilities include a renovated cafeteria and library, research center, four science labs, chapel, theater and two gymnasiums. The six-acre campus includes an all-weather outdoor track and baseball field. Molloy fully integrates iPad® technology in its classrooms.
Molloy’s intensive academic counseling helps students to select the colleges that are best for them and to win scholarships at top Ivy League, Catholic, private and public
universities. Extensive opportunities for personal counseling grow out of the Marist Brothers’ mission of service and promote students’ spiritual and emotional development in both small groups and one-on-one sessions.
The Marist Brothers’ Retreat House in Esopus, NY is the site of many camps and retreats at which Molloy students can either attend or work as counselors and service staff. Molloy students volunteer for service programs throughout the U.S and abroad, including in Nicaragua and Lourdes, France.
Molloy offers full, half and partial scholarships valued at over $1.2 million.
Admission and Academic Scholarships are awarded based on students’ TACHS scores and academic records for 6th, 7th and 8th grade.

As parents, you want the best for your children. It is
because you wish them success in all of life’s chal-
lenges that Catholic schools are the right choice.
Catholic schools provide an educational program
based on religious beliefs and values, enabling your
children to grow in their understanding of them-
selves, their relationship with God and their relation-
ship with others.
Catholic schools promote the education of young
people to their full potential; their teachers respect
and encourage real learning experiences. Your chil-
dren acquire knowledge and develop the skills nec-
essary for success in higher educational pursuits and
a wide range of careers.
Catholic schools offer a community environment in
which your children can discuss and live out the values
upon which their education is based. They are encour-
aged to contribute to society and to assume leader-
ship roles in shaping public attitudes and programs.
In Catholic schools, young people learn to question, to
establish confidence in their own good choices in life
and to experience the sense of accomplishment stem-
ming from individual achievement and responsibility.
Take this opportunity to learn about Catholic Schools
in Brooklyn and Queens. Whichever school you choose,
you can be assured that your child will receive a strong
academic education in an environment structured to
have a lasting value.
Catholic Schools:
• Build character
• Foster community service
• Encourage involvement
• Develop real-world skills
• Shape leaders
• Reward achievement
• Reinforce values
• Allow for spiritual growth
• Embrace differences
• Raise standards
• Empower each student
• Celebrate school spirit
Catholic schools admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made avail-
able to students at the school. They do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of their educational policies,
admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs and athletic and other school-administered programs.
To the extent required by Title IX, they do not discriminate against any applicant, employee or student because of sex.
