About
The Masters School is an independent day and boarding school for students in grades 5 through 12. It empowers independent thinkers through an expansive and innovative curriculum based on active intellectual exploration. Located on 96 picturesque acres on the Hudson River and just 12 miles from the vast resources of New York City, the school is a diverse and vibrant convergence of ideas, cultures, arts and athletics. In a kind and inclusive culture, where diversity of thought is celebrated, students can confidently find their own voices in discussion-based classes, while gaining a deeper, broader understanding of the subject matter and each other. Much like the curriculum at a liberal arts college, Masters' curriculum imparts a broad knowledge to students and develops their intellectual capacities in a transformational way. Masters is distinguished by its novel approach of using the Harkness method of teaching around a singular, oval table for all main subject areas. Harkness challenges students to achieve a higher level of engagement, to extract and construct their own meaning from the content, and then to share it courageously and articulately with their peers and teachers while gaining respect for the voices of others. At Masters, students take full advantage of developing their many talents and interests-whether academics, athletics, performing arts, visual arts, or service projects. At Masters, there is an appreciation for the value of a well-balanced education and the doors it opens-including admission to top-ranked colleges and universities.
