ARDSLEY UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Ardsley School District aims to maximize every student’s potential by providing an educational environment in which learning is paramount, students are active participants, and the quality of teaching reflects the high expectations of the community. We seek to help young people attain the highest level of cognitive growth and critical analysis in all disciplines and expertise to use technology to access information and creatively use it for research/problem solving. We also seek to instill a love for an appreciation of aesthetics and the environment in which we live in order to help students succeed in a world of rapid change, growing competition and cultural diversity. We strive to build a lasting appreciation of democratic values, which includes a respect for others, a commitment to service to one’s community and a strong sense of self-esteem all of which are fundamentals of physical, social and emotional well-being. The District values the appropriate sharing of responsibilities in making decisions and encourages the broadest participation of parents, community members, staff and students.
