In late 1995, a group of parents, educators, and community members began meeting about a better way to educate our children.  This group included representatives from the Native-American, African-American, Latino and Euro-American communities on the East End of Long Island.  As a result of these meetings, Hayground School was born in September 1996.

The Mission of Hayground School is to provide an open community school where unproductive conventions are replaced by new ways of teaching and learning.  Hayground is truly committed to a program of innovation in a community of diversity, both economical and cultural.  

With the recent development of the apprenticeship based program for older youth, the rich and varied programs that are taking place in the impressive new “Jeff’s Kitchen”, visiting artist programs, and inspiring math, reading, music, art and science opportunities, Hayground continues to remain true its mission.
