Faculty Chairs
Establishing a faculty chair makes a powerful statement and allows us to honor great faculty who serve SYA so admirably, implementing and exemplifying SYA's mission.
Gifts to support SYA teachers sustain the central source of inspiration and guidance for our students. They help SYA invest in rigorous, inventive expectations that change how students perceive themselves and the world. They fuel SYA’s forward momentum by ensuring that dedicated and brilliant individuals will lead the school we love — today and into the future.
SYA offers a learning experience that is simply unlike any other. Where else can a student live and study abroad at such a formative age, in such an authentic yet challenging way? It causes you to grow as you have never grown before. And all of this is possible because the academic program is absolutely tight, nearly flawless, and because the faculty are so masterful and dedicated.Natalia Bulgari ES'86
