ZICCOLELLA MIDDLE SCHOOL

Ziccolella Middle School, located at 1 South Broadway in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, is a specialized educational program operating under the umbrella of the Southern Westchester BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services). The school is designed to support students in grades 6 through 8 who require a more therapeutic and structured environment than what is typically available in a traditional general education setting. By maintaining smaller class sizes and a high staff-to-student ratio, the school focuses on providing individualized attention that addresses both the academic and social-emotional needs of its students.

The curriculum at Ziccolella is integrated with intensive support services, including counseling and behavioral intervention, to help students navigate challenges and prepare for a successful transition back to their home school districts. The school places a strong emphasis on fostering a supportive community where students can develop essential life skills, improve their academic performance, and build the confidence necessary for personal and educational growth. Through its collaborative approach involving teachers, clinical staff, and families, the school aims to create a nurturing space that fosters holistic development for every student.
