School District

The District has been recognized nationally as a premier educational institution since the 1920s; today’s program continues to reflect a rich mix of tradition and innovation. In classes small enough to know their students, teachers address individual strengths, passions, and challenges. The Scarsdale schools seek to sponsor each student's full development, enabling youth to be valuable contributors in an interdependent world. The Scarsdale School District is a founding member of the Global Learning Alliance, a consortium focusing on the definition of a world-class education with partners in Singapore and Helsinki. Scarsdale’s strategic plan goals reflect a dedication to student-centered learning, holistic wellness, sustainability, and the meaningful and ethical application of technology.
