St Anastasia Elementary School opened in 1929 and graduated its last class in 2009. Supported throughout its history by the clergy and parishioners of St. Anastasia Church, the school provided a fine elementary education, in the catholic tradition, to many thousands of students. The school was the life's work of several hundred lay educators and teachers serving with the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas.
In 2009, within the framework of the Preserving the Vision" initiative of the Diocese of Brooklyn, the school was reorganized and renamed Divine Wisdom Catholic Academy. No longer a parish school, but in fellowship with St. Anastasia Church, DWCA operates under the governance of a lay Board of Directors selected from the ranks of alumni and friends of the old SAS.
The St. Anastasia School Alumni Association was founded in 2009 under the aegis of both the Vicar General of the Diocese of Brooklyn and the Board of Directors of Divine Wisdom Catholic Academy. It is incorporated as a Non-Profit organization in New York State. It operates exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in accordance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
