About Our School
Where every student thrives.
Founded in 1985 as part of the NY Performance Standards Consortium, Forsyth Satellite Academy is a transfer high school serving grades 9–12. We replace Regents exams with project-based assessments (PBATs) that let students demonstrate deep learning through art, writing, and real-world applications.
Our tight-knit community values restorative justice circles, social-emotional growth, and paid internships—ensuring every graduate is ready for college, careers, and life beyond the classroom.
