Why Study at The Masters School?

- Experienced & Caring Faculty
Each dorm has four “parents” who create a warm and homelike environment. Faculty are available day and night and become familiar with the details of students’ lives so they can address any issues as they arise.

Students, in turn, know they can always receive sound advice from a dorm parent. In addition, each boarding student has a dedicated faculty advisor who lives on campus.

- Extra-Curricular Activities
On weekends, boarders engage in a range of on-campus activities, including art studio, open gym, concerts, coffee houses, movies, dances, and dorm challenges.

Off campus, students enjoy trips to New York City, nearby ski areas, horseback riding trails, local shops, and Westchester County’s historic sites and attractions.

- Student Free Time
Students have the freedom and flexibility to pursue new interests and develop unique talents. Faculty and advisors are always on hand to provide support and to help develop good decision-making and time-management skills.

- Accreditation
We are accredited by the the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
