Educational Facilities
There are four public "neighborhood" elementary schools, a Middle School and a High School. The vast majority of students go on to higher education at four year colleges and universities.
The High School offers, in addition to college preparatory, courses in business, as well as an unusually comprehensive program in industrial arts. Harrison has two parochial elementary schools: St. Gregory the Great and St. Anthony's and the School of the Holy Child, an independent Catholic school for girls. In addition, there is Keio Academy, a high school affiliated with Keio University in Tokyo. Harrison is the home of the State University of New York (SUNY) and Manhattanville College.
