Collaborative, Future-Oriented Academic Culture

Educational Environments that Promote Wellbeing, Belonging, and Resilience

Commitment to Inquiry, Interdependence,  and Innovation

LEARNING in Scarsdale is a collaborative experience that encourages risk taking and prioritizes opportunities for students to think deeply about and work to solve problems relevant to their lives and connected to their interests. To achieve this, students develop and deploy powerful habits of mind and effective communication skills. 

Essential to LIVING a well-balanced life of meaning and contribution is developing the dispositions necessary to be resilient in the face of adversity. We accomplish this by emphasizing strong developmental relationships and creating brave learning spaces where students and teachers challenge themselves and each other to grow. 

As a LEADING light in public education, we grow, adapt, and continuously improve through inquiry and innovation. We recognize the forces shaping our interdependent world and share a commitment to the principles of sustainability in our educational, environmental, and economic practices - non sibi.
