TOMPKINS-SENECA-TIOGA BOCES (TST BOCES) is an educational service agency based in Ithaca, New York, designed to support the academic and professional needs of school districts across Tompkins, Seneca, and Tioga counties. Rather than functioning as a traditional K-12 school, it acts as a regional hub that provides shared educational programs, specialized instructional services, and administrative support. Its mission focuses on fostering collaboration between local districts to offer high-quality learning opportunities that individual schools might not be able to sustain on their own.
The institution is particularly well-regarded for its Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, which provide high school students with hands-on training in fields such as healthcare, automotive technology, digital media, and construction. Beyond vocational training, TST BOCES provides extensive support for special education, adult literacy, high school equivalency (GED) preparation, and professional development for educators. By bridging the gap between classroom instruction and real-world workforce needs, TST BOCES plays a critical role in the economic and educational development of the surrounding communities.
