Dr. Cecilia Teng

Cecilia Teng is President of the Hewlett School. .Hewlett School was founded in 1915 by a group of prominent Long Island families committed to the idea of creating an independent school offering educational programs of the highest quality in an independent school setting. The Long Island town of Hewlett, from which the school takes its name, was its first home. In 1941 Hewlett School moved to its current location in the Suffolk County hamlet of East Islip. Our campus is the former Johnson estate of nine acres on Long Island's Great South Bay. Hewlett School is a non-profit, non-denominational, institution. Operating under an Absolute Charter of the Regents of the State of New York, the school is governed by a Board of Trustees and administered by a President and a number of officers of instruction, guidance and business who report to her. Hewlett is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and the world-wide International Baccalaureate Organization.

Originally, a boarding school for the daughters of leading families in the New York Metropolitan area, Hewlett became a co-educational day school during the 1970's. Today, the homes of Hewlett's students are located not only in many of Suffolk County's towns and villages but also in foreign countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Admission to Hewlett School is based upon a rigorous screening procedure the object of which is to identify the academically talented with the necessary motivation to do well in a challenging instructional program. Race, religion, national origin and past academic performance are not factors considered for admission to The Hewlett School.
