At Poughkeepsie Day School (PDS), children are active participants in their learning, not passive receivers of information. Through tangible, collaborative, and immersive education, our students develop a true passion for learning that persists far beyond the classroom. Join us for an open house on February 25 to learn more about PDS, our GROW program, and our International Baccalaureate® candidacy.

Several individuals gather closely in a small room with plain white walls and a fluorescent ceiling light. Some are seated while others stand, holding or reviewing stacks of typed pages, with one person in the center crossing their arms and another writing on a pad near the doorway. Attentive expressions are visible throughout the group, with a mix of seated and leaning postures. A tall shelf filled with papers stands to the left, and a small framed portrait hangs on the back wall.

Celebrate the opening of the exhibition Women’s Work: Organizing New York Independent Film & Video and the related Vassar Institute for the Liberal Arts’ signature program, which together highlight the organizing labor that enabled groundbreaking media collectives to pursue new forms of self-expression and advocate for political change. Come meet some of the key figures whose labor made important untold stories visible, and those who are working to preserve and continue this work today.
