At a Glance
A small, specialized ABA school for children with autism — part of a Staten Island organization that supports individuals across the lifespan
Best suited for
Families of children with autism (ages 3 through about 11) who want an intensive, ABA-based educational setting and who value the possibility of staying with the same provider into adulthood programs. Best for Staten Island families who can use the SIR easily, or for families willing to make the ferry commute for a specialized fit.
What stands out
- ABA-based intervention as the explicit, science-driven instructional framework
- Part of a larger organization that also runs adult day habilitation, residential programs, and family support services — offering continuity across the lifespan
- Very small enrollment (about 100) and low student-teacher ratio (6.7:1) for highly individualized programming
- Rolling admissions rather than a fixed deadline
- Family support services built into the program
Things to consider
- This is a specialized setting, not a general private school — it is the right fit only for families seeking ABA-based autism education
- The school only goes through fifth grade; families will need a transition plan for middle school and beyond
- Located on Staten Island, which adds a ferry commute for families coming from Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens
- Accreditation status is not listed in available data — worth asking directly
- Tuition, financial aid, and funding sources (including how families typically pay — sometimes via OPWDD, school district referral, or private pay) are not provided here and should be confirmed with the school
Identity
A specialized private school for students with autism, PK through 5th grade, with a 6.7:1 student-teacher ratio. It is coed and nonsectarian, and enrollment is intentionally small to allow highly individualized programming.
Community
The student body reflects a meaningfully diverse mix of families — White (49%), Black (24%), Hispanic (20%), Multiracial/Other (7%) — which is notable for a small specialized school. Families typically come seeking autism-specific services rather than from a defined local catchment, so the demographic profile reflects who is drawn to this provider rather than the surrounding neighborhood.
Neighborhood
The school sits on Staten Island's North Shore in the Tompkinsville-Stapleton-Clifton-Fox Hills area, a working-class neighborhood where median household income is around $52,653 and the poverty rate sits near 26%. This is a community where specialized, often expensive, services can be hard to access — which is worth keeping in mind as you think about who Eden II serves.
Conveniently located for transit: the Stapleton station on the Staten Island Railroad is about a 2-minute walk away, making door-to-platform commutes very easy. Clifton (SIR) is about an 11-minute walk and Tompkinsville (SIR) about 14 minutes.
