"The Town of Poughkeepsie Offers Something for Everyone"
The town of Poughkeepsie is served by four different public schools: Arlington, Hyde Park, Spackenkill and Wappingers school districts. For those looking for privates schools those are also available in the town of Poughkeepsie: Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic high school, Poughkeepsie Day School and Oakwood Friends day and boarding school. There is a school system for any need: big schools, small schools, private, public it’s all available in Poughkeepsie. As for higher education, Vassar and Marist Colleges are right in town offering a variety of majors. Many celebrities and their children attended Vassar College such as Jackie Kennedy and Meryl Streep. The Vassar Campus is astounding. When my kids were little, they used to refer to the campus as the “the Castle”. Marist College is on the Hudson River and has amazing grounds as well. Also Dutchess community College is part of the SUNY system and provides affordable education. Other nearby colleges are SUNY New Paltz which is about 25 minutes across the river in Ulster County, and the CIA – Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park.
The CIA graduates many great chefs many of whom move on to work in big cities such as New York City while a good number of them settle in the area and work at great restaurants adding to the wealth of the cuisine available in town. Some of my favorite restaurants in the Town of Poughkeepsie as well as in the City of Poughkeepsie:

Cosimo's - http://www.cosimospoughkeepsie.com/index.html The wood fired brick over sets Cosimo’s apart. The open flame cooking style, results in flavor that is unique to Cosimo’s signature pizzas, pastas and entrees. Their handcrafted fresh mozzarella exemplifies that value of quality and family tradition that is the foundation of Cosimo’s restaurants.
