Saint Vincent Ferrer High School was established in the tradition of St. Dominic, who strove to instill in others a lifetime commitment to Study, Community, Prayer, and Service. Saint Vincent Ferrer High School is sponsored by the parish of Saint Vincent Ferrer, located at 65th Street and Lexington Avenue.
The first school was built in 1884 and was staffed by the Dominican Sisters of Saint Mary of the Springs. Presently, the Dominican Sisters of Our Lady Of The Springs administer and staff the school. The school was started to meet the educational needs of the immigrant population which was flooding into New York City.

Study: We believe that study is the key to knowledge and truth, and a challenging, open, and nurturing environment is necessary to prepare students for college and a lifetime of learning. Community: We believe that developing a sense of community without regard to racial, class, or cultural distinctions is essential, and that compassion, empathy, and generosity are learned through interaction and cooperation with others in that community.

With just about 500 students we're large enough to offer options, but small enough to care.
