Dobbs Ferry Union Free School District is a grade K–12 school district based in Dobbs Ferry, New York, in the Hudson Valley, approximately 20 miles north of midtown Manhattan.
The school district's governing body is the elected board of education, consisting of seven members, each serving a three-year term.
Dobbs Ferry uses the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) throughout its curriculum.
Some residents of the Ardsley Park neighborhood in the Village of Irvington are part of the Dobbs Ferry school district.
The first purpose-built school building in the village was on Main Street, built in 1857, roughly opposite the present town hall.
That served until 1896, when a new building was completed on Broadway, just south of the present High School, on what had been the Appleton estate.
