Oct. 30, 2025: The Bronxville School Foundation (BSF) is thrilled to usher in a new era of leadership and launch its crucial fall fundraising campaign. The Foundation proudly announces its new slate of officers and the addition of six new board members who will serve for the 2025-2026 school year.
The Foundation Has Invested over $13.7 Million into the Bronxville School Over the Years
For decades, the BSF has been an indispensable partner to the Bronxville School, transforming educational opportunities for students. The Foundation has awarded an extraordinary 953 grants, investing over $13.7 million directly into the district. These funds have significantly enhanced the learning experience by financing innovative new curriculum, cutting edge technology, essential faculty training, vital facilities projects, and specialized materials and equipment. Just last year, the Foundation contributed $396,481 through its robust grant program.
The BSF works hand in hand with the school administration to identify high priority needs that extend beyond the district’s annual budget. These initiatives are critical for maintaining Bronxville’s reputation for educational excellence and providing a truly transformative experience for every student.
Fall Fundraising Campaign Aiming for 100% Participation from School Families
The annual fall fundraising campaign is the cornerstone of our ability to support these vital grants. It is through generous contributions of our devoted alumni, engaged Bronxville community members, supportive school families, and invaluable corporate matching gifts that we are able to bridge this funding gap.
We are excited to aim for 100% participation from all Bronxville School families. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference and demonstrates a collective commitment to our students’ future. We are also deeply grateful for the personal donations from the entire school administration team, whose leadership and generosity inspire us all.
We invite you to join us in shaping the future of education at The Bronxville School. Please consider contributing to the Foundation and help us continue to empower excellence.

Bronxville has four pre-schools, one public school (The Bronxville School K – 12), one Catholic school (St. Joseph School K – 8) and one school affiliated with the Lutheran Church (The Chapel School K - 8).
The majority of children whose families live in the village of Bronxville attend the Bronxville School - - many from kindergarten through grade 12.
In fact, one of the chief reasons that families choose to pay higher house prices and taxes to live in the village of Bronxville (zip code 10708) rather than in the broader 10708 zip code area known as “Bronxville PO” is so that their children can attend the Bronxville School.
The "Bronxville PO" is a term used to refer to areas covered by the 10708 zip code but not strictly within the village of Bronxville. The Bronxville PO include parts of Bronxville and other nearby areas such as Chester Heights, Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa, and some bordering parts of Tuckahoe and Yonkers.
Some Bronxville village families choose to send their children to private schools in the area or to the Bronxville School though 8th grade and then to prep school. But, by and large, this group is still in the minority.
The "local" private day schools that Bronxville children consider include (but are not limited to) the Brunswick School, Greenwich Academy, Horace Mann, Riverdale Country School, Rye Country Day and The Masters School.
Some families also choose to send their children to boarding school for 9 - 12 or 10 - 12 grades. Popular schools include Exeter, Andover, Hotchkiss, St. Paul's, Salisbury, Taft and Choate.
Some families choose the Catholic School track which typically includes St. Joseph School (K – 8) and then onto other Catholic schools for high school. Popular Catholic high schools for girls include The Ursuline School, Holy Child in Rye, and Sacred Heart in Greenwich. Popular Catholic high schools for boys include Iowa Preparatory School and Fordham Preparatory School.
Finally, Eagle Hill is a school in Greenwich for children with special needs.

Tutors
Be Brilliant! Tutoring (BB!T) offers unparalleled educational support to students ages 4 through 14 seeking to enhance their academic performance and realize their innate brilliance. BB!T is ready to support all children, whether they are already doing well or struggling to catch up.
BB!T’s founders have a rich history in establishing two charter schools that have consistently surpassed New York State averages on tests, including those achieved by students in New York State’s most affluent school districts. But at BB!T, we go beyond test scores and good grades. Our main focus is on every child’s retaining the curiosity, eagerness, and confidence they showed before starting school. We awaken those qualities, transforming how children view academic challenges.
Unlike typical tutoring services, BB!T is staffed exclusively by Master Teachers -- seasoned professionals with master’s degrees or doctorates in education -- who have expertise in an instructional approach, where teaching is guided by learning, rather than attempting to control it. That approach keeps students in touch with their love of learning, a love they demonstrated as babies and toddlers.
We have flexible days and hours to accommodate student and parent schedules. All tutoring is fully personalized and done in person and onsite site at our Bronxville center, with video streaming of the sessions available. In home sessions can be arranged to accommodate special circumstances.
Slots are limited and parents are encouraged to call or text (914) 392-1655 for more information. The website with additional details is www.BeBrilliantTutoring.com.
The word “Bespoke” means “customized and made to individual order.” Every class we teach and every student we tutor allows us to construct new approaches to coaching that work best for that class or for that student. Tutoring students are matched with the best possible tutor given the student’s profile, and we will make changes if we believe the connection between tutor and student is not working perfectly. Our instruction is, in a word, bespoke.
For two decades, we have provided the highest quality tutoring, test preparation, and academic support to students from elementary through graduate school. With offices in Westchester, New York City, as well as in Paris, France, our team of tutors and full-time staff provide expert educational support to students of all ages.
