I went to high school there, 9-12. I can say in hindsight 25+ years later that it was a great experience. The school nurtures the individual in a way that public schools often can't. Like all schools it had its challenges, but at the core of the school are caring, intelligent and creative faculty. I'm sure I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for my time at PDS.

Poughkeepsie Day to me is the best place for children who feel they don't fit in any where. One complaint I have is the food at school is awful and expensive.

PDS helped shape me into who I am. The close knit relationships with teachers allowed me the comfort and capability to grow as both a student and an independant thinker. When I had questions I knew there was a resource there for me to pull on. The courses were fun and interesting and as I moved through high school I began getting more freedom in what kind of classes I could take, even engineering my own to an extent. PDS isn't a perfect school but it was wonderful for me.

She’s now heading into third grade and has thrived. She’s an enthusiastic reader, loves math, and enjoys al...

PDS has been a game changer for our family. After moving to the area with little knowledge of the public schools, we were looking for something different for our curious and motivated kids. We started our younger daughter in pre-K and moved our older daughter to the school after a great first year....

This is our second year at PDS. We finally found a progressive school and a wonderful environment that suits our family. We plan to be part of PDS for many years. Please read the reviews carefully, many responses are from years ago. The school is not the same as back then. It is worth your time to c...
