Overview
The Garden Road School's philosophy is centered on education of the whole child.
Throughout our curriculum, academics, creative arts and core human values merge to meet the needs of each and every student's individual learning styles.
The result is a holistic setting in which each child's potential is realized and nurtured.
Our academic approach implements experiential, sensory, all-round learning, with application into practical living.
Located on a 285 acre woodland campus in Tarrytown, NY, Hackley School is a K-12 coeducational day and five-day boarding school. Visitors are drawn to the beauty of Hackley`s historic Quad, yet the School`s facilities libraries, technology classrooms (including Maker Space) athletics fields, cross-country trails, recently updated Lower School and our newly opened 115,000 square foor Johnson Center for Health and Wellness on our gracefully designed campus rival those of nationally known boarding schools. Here, we challenge students to grow in character, scholarship and accomplishment in a community that encourages all to "Enter Here to Be and Find a Friend."
