About Us

 

The Pocantico Hills School staff believes that each student is a complex and unique person. We are committed to helping our children realize their complete personal potential – academic, creative, physical and emotional. We will ask the students to stretch themselves and help them to discover the rewards of working hard.

We will treat the students with respect and understanding and encourage them to be caring and contributing members of society, students who are honest, accountable, wholehearted, kind and safe (HAWKS)

 

Our Vision

Portrait of a Graduate

Our students, together with families, staff, and the community, engage in experiences that cultivate academic success, promote physical & emotional well-being, and prepare them for life beyond Pocantico Hills.
