Facilities

With our main building, a nineteenth-century farmhouse, Dutchess Day School feels very much like a home. Most classes are held under one roof, and students and teachers eat together family style.

The main building is surrounded by student- and parent-maintained gardens and overlooks a new gymnasium and six acres of athletic fields. A second gym and an extensive lower-school playground sit atop a sledding hill and a play area for the upper school. Beyond lie a pond, farmland, and forested hills that allow our teachers to extend their classrooms into outdoor exploration.
