Cascadilla School

About Cascadilla

Cascadilla School was founded in 1870 as a preparatory school for Cornell University. In 1939, it was reorganized as a nonprofit corporation under a Board of Trustees and granted an absolute charter by the Board of Regents of the State of New York.

The philosophy of education at Cascadilla is to provide a flexible, accelerated program within which each individual can achieve his or her goals in preparation for a successful college career. This learning experience emphasizes the steady development of an adult viewpoint and a mature approach to life.

The School is located in the heart of the Finger Lakes region in Ithaca, a city of 50,000 people, 20,000 of whom are college and university students. This scenic college town provides many cultural activities as well as athletics events. The School is located on the edge of the Cornell University campus, and students are encouraged to take advantage of the community's outstanding offerings, which include restaurants, shops, theater, and recreational facilities. There is direct air and bus service from New York City and other major U.S. cities.

Cascadilla School is registered with the New York State Board of Regents.
