District Initiatives

At the district level, we have two major initiatives in support of wellness promotion: Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and our newly formed District Wellness Committee.

The MTSS approach recognizes that students do not all start in the same place or learn at the same rate. By intervening early and often, the MTSS approach ensures that small gaps do not become insurmountable and that gaps and moments of struggle are supported fully. 

Our district is committed to fostering a learning environment that embraces diversity, promotes equity, and celebrates the unique identities of all our students. We are proud to align ourselves with the New York State Education Department's (NYSED) Culturally Responsive-Sustaining (CR-S) Education Framework, a powerful vision for creating student-centered spaces that empower every child to thrive.

Originally established in 2018, the Wellness Center was created to serve high school students, parents, staff, and faculty and provide wellness information, education, resources, referrals, and training. When it reopens this year, the Wellness Center will promote healthy lifestyle habits and provide effective stress management tools through various activities.

Early exposure to STEM subjects fosters curiosity and a passion for discovery, encouraging students to explore complex concepts and develop a robust understanding of how the natural and engineered worlds operate.

The Ardsley Science Research Program (ASRP) is a student-centered research program that encourages individual and group scientific inquiry beginning sophomore year. ASRP provides high school students with the structure and support they need to explore original research at a very high level in a topic of their interest.
