Students arrived for the first day of school on Sept. 3, 2024! We are so excited to begin a new school year!

Pocantico's New Garden has become an outdoor learning center

Throughout the summer, our garden was attended by staff and some family volunteers. With students back in school, classes are taking time to learn in the garden--what things are ready to harvest, how they grow, and event helping to plant some late season crops! 

Swim in Gym

Students at Pocantico have a unique opportunity to learn swim and safety skills in our very own pool. Weather permitting, students enjoy "Swim in Gym" at the start of the school year and later when the weather warms up in the spring. It's a great opportunity for students to practice what they know and learn more about critical water safety skills.

Eighth graders begin special art project

Eighth graders have been busy with their annual art projects! They began their work in the garden where they photographed what they saw there or found inspiration in images they found elsewhere. Back in the art room they've begun to sketch out their original pieces. We can't wait to see their paintings when done!
