The History of The Randolph School

Debbie at the Stepping Stones Ceremony

In 1963, several teachers and parents joined together to form a teacher's cooperative school. They named it The Randolph Avenue School because it was housed at the Unitarian Fellowship on Randolph Avenue in Poughkeepsie. Two years later they bought the property in Wappingers Falls where the school remains to this day. Through the years The Randolph School has remained independent in its implementation of various educational principles. Parents have always been an integral part of the school and their participation and assistance has always helped to bridge the gap between home and school.
