Welcome from Josie Holford

Welcome to our website! And thank you for your interest in Poughkeepsie Day School, a private, independent, co-educational school serving students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 from throughout the mid-Hudson Valley.

Our website captures some of the enduring values and innovative spirit of our 75 years of service to families from dozens of communities in Dutchess, Ulster, Putnam, Orange and Columbia counties.

I hope you will find helpful information about our outstanding program and will want to learn more about our mission to develop educated citizens with a passion for learning and living. 

We invite you to come and visit PDS and see how we live our mission and reach for our vision every day. And I hope you will visit us on Facebook and become a fan and  read my blog and leave your comments. But best of all, please come and visit us in person. You can also follow PDS on Twitter @PoughkeepsieDay.
