Welcome to the web page of the College of Staten Island Liberty Partnerships Program.

These services include: tutoring, academic and personal counseling, SAT prep, College Prep, Mentoring, and Advocacy, among others. Liberty, as you may quickly come to call it, also provides transitional support to junior high school students as well as their parents to ease the sometimes stressful process of beginning high school.
