Tuxedo Park School is a private day school located within the gated community of Tuxedo Park, New York. Serving the surrounding counties in both New York and New Jersey, the school serves small classes of students in pre-kindergarten up to the 9th grade (now known as the 'Freshman' year). == History == Originally founded in 1900 for the purpose of educating children living in Tuxedo Park (having been founded in 1886 by Pierre Lorillard), the institution grew from a staff of two with 38 pupils〔Brigham, Vera G. "Chapter 2."''Tuxedo Park School: A History 1900-1990''. Saddle Brook, NJ: Concord, 1990. 13. Print. 〕 from the outset to a current 248 students, sporting an average student-to-teacher ratio of 7:1.〔"Tuxedo Park School at a Glance."''Tuxedo Park School''. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Dec. 2013. 〕 Under the leadership of Anthony Barber in the early 1940s, the school received a New York State Charter and became an official not-for-profit institution. Since the late 1950s the school has occupied a brick mansion house styled in the fashion of an English manor, formerly owned by John and Natalie Blair. The building is therefore referred to as 'Blairhame' in their memory.〔"History." ''Tuxedo Park School''. N.p., n.d.
