Interdependence Institute
Scarsdale
graduates will live in a society and a world where economics, politics,
social issues, science, and ecological concerns increasingly transcend
traditional borders. In this interdependent environment, education will
be the most important tool and will determine the ability to understand,
compete and contribute. Scarsdale has historically held that the best
preparation for the world beyond school is a liberal arts education –
one that develops the ability to think critically and to act on values
attained through open inquiry in a climate of decency.
