The Masters School, known as Masters, is a private, coeducational boarding school and day college preparatory school located in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Its 96-acre (390,000 m2) campus is located north of New York City on the Hudson Valley in Westchester County. It was founded as an all-girls private school in 1877 by Eliza Bailey Masters, and first admitted boys in 1996.
The Masters School has over 570 students in grades 5-12. The school is co-educational with the exception of grades 6-8 in which most classes are separated by gender. Masters students come from 17 states and 17 countries. In the Upper School, 17% of students are international.
Over 70% of the faculty have advanced degrees. The average class size is 14 students.
The school's wooded 96-acre campus is on a hilltop in Dobbs Ferry, a historic village with a sloping geography and waterfront on the Hudson River. A five-minute walk from the campus lookout over the Hudson brings students down to the heart of town, and a 40-minute train ride from there brings faculty and students to New York City.
