The school serves over 400 students in grades 9-12.  Over 90% of our graduates pursue further education.  The faculty is deeply involved in the development and refinement of programs and encourages students to participate in activities that demand high levels of responsibility and commitment. 
On behalf of the administration and staff of Dobbs Ferry High School, I would like to welcome you to the 2009-2010 school year. As I begin my fifth year as principal of Dobbs Ferry High School, I am truly excited about our focus of continuing the process of improving teaching and learning in the classroom.
 
Our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and high achieving students are all committed to creating an environment in which all students are empowered to reach their individual potential, respect and value themselves and others, and become life-long learners.
 
As we continue to implement the High School Strategic Plan Goals, we will utilize our Purposeful Learning Community to delve deeper into truly identifying what students need to learn; what to do when students don’t learn; and how we will provide a rigorous curriculum for those students who excel in their learning.
 
Dobbs Ferry High School features a rigorous and academically demanding International Baccalaureate Program which provides students with intellectual, social, and cultural preparation necessary for success in the global marketplace. 

Communication between home and school is a high priority at Dobbs Ferry High School. If at any time you feel the need to discuss your child’s achievement, please contact our staff through e-mail, or voicemail.

In 1998, Dobbs Ferry High School became the first high school in Westchester County to belong to the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB)  Organization.
 
The IB Program is a comprehensive and rigorous, two-year, pre-university course of study offered to eleventh and twelfth grade students.  The Diploma and individual IB coursework are widely recognized by universities around the world as a symbol of academic excellence.  The curriculum is internationally recognized and leads to examinations that demonstrate mastery of subject content as well as academic skills.  Students who participate in advanced level courses are expected to take the appropriate IB and/or AP exams. Students' work is assessed by an international board of examiners, who are rigorously trained and monitored by the IB Organization.
 
Dobbs Ferry adopted the program because:
  • IB fosters academic excellence by encouraging students to take a more active role in their learning, to think critically, and to integrate writing skills into all their coursework.
  • IB fosters excellence in teaching by raising standards and expectations for all.
