Rooted in a tradition of academic excellence, East Woods is a private school on Long Island that offers a well-rounded education. Through strong academics, and a rigorous course of study, children are taught how to think, not what to think. Our students are immersed in science, technology, math, foreign languages, history, literature, athletics, and the arts.
East Woods School is a friendly community of students, faculty, and parents that feels more like a family rather than just a school. Founded in 1946 by a small group of parents, East Woods remains a community of families seeking a Long Island private school that is small by design, and that promotes excellence in a nurturing environment.

Exceptional school environment and overall community. The caliber of teachers is amazing. They are engaged, enthusiastic and caring. The staff and EWS administration is responsive to the different needs of individual students, offering access to all types of programs to ensure each child reaches their full potential. They have excelled through these very difficult times, offering superior virtual education and are prepared for the upcoming year offering fully in-school, hybrid and fully remote options to accommodate the widely differing family dynamics and circumstances in the EWS community

I can't say enough great things about this school.
From the warm community atmosphere to the teachers who are so devoted to the education and well being of our daughter, East woods is the best decision ever made. We have been there since kindergarten and have seen our daughter making amazing strides . Teachers are well trained and dedicated to the education of students.
The science and theatre program are so enriching . Where else can you learn about being a meteorologist in kindergarten, speak in front of an entire student body with ease and sing and dance in front of a big Audience
