Campus
The school’s extensive wooded and lawned 96-acre campus is on a hilltop in Dobbs Ferry, a historic village with a sloping geography and waterfront on the Hudson River. A five-minute walk from the campus lookout over the Hudson brings students down to the heart of town, and a 40-minute train ride from there brings faculty and students to New York City.
Located in the center of campus, two dormitories for boys and three dormitories for girls accommodate more than 150 upper school students from throughout the country and from around the world. The boys' dorms are Thompson and Strong; the girls' dorms are Ford, McCormack, and Cole.
The campus includes Estherwood, a late 19th-century mansion that is the only châteauesque building in Westchester County. It and its carriage house are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It houses faculty in apartments on the upper floors, and the first floor and grounds offer a unique setting for school parties and programs. Student chamber ensembles perform in Estherwood and, each year, drama students present one-act plays in one of the mansion’s rooms.
