Why BCSD?
An easy drive or train ride away from New York City, Bedford Central School District is close enough to NYC to benefit from the resources and opportunities provided by a major urban center while also benefitting from everything the Westchester County suburbs have to offer.
BCSD serves Mount Kisco, Bedford, Bedford Hills, Pound Ridge, and portions of New Castle and North Castle, NY. Our location allows students to tend to lush gardens, explore scenic trails and visit historic landmarks. We are grateful to be supported by a variety of strong parent and community organizations including PTOs, The Foundation for Bedford Schools and Booster clubs.
We have five elementary schools, a middle school and a high school (including a small, community-oriented alternative high school program).

Our Mission
We recognize each child as an individual with the potential to achieve their personal best. We are committed to guiding our students on their unique educational journeys by nurturing their abilities and encouraging a growth mindset while challenging and supporting their academic development and fostering their social-emotional and physical well-being. We celebrate diversity, an inclusive learning environment, and respect for others as important components in developing global citizens. We believe in putting students first, always. We believe in inspiring and challenging our students through a curriculum that encourages them to create, problem-solve, to know that they are each smart in different ways, to promote deep thinking, and to anchor and launch future learning.
