The Voorheesville Elementary School is dedicated to high academic standards while nurturing the total child. With the support of a knowledgeable administration, faculty, and staff and small classes averaging 20.9 students per class, our students will be better prepared to participate in the 21st century.

The curriculum is regularly analyzed and updated to keep current with the latest academic research.

Special subjects (art, music, physical education, library) are 45 minutes in length and further enhance the total program. All classes are considered an integral part of the child’s total education. Chorus and Band begin in fifth grade and 90% or more of the students participate in one or both of these performing groups.
