Soundview Preparatory School is an independent, coed preparatory school that serves grades 6-12. It is located in Yorktown Heights, New York. It was founded in March 1989 by its Headmaster W. Glyn Hearn after a group of families came forward seeking an alternative school. It moved from its original location at St. John's Church in Pleasantville to the Union Church of Pocantico Hills, and then to an office building in Mount Kisco, New York, and finally moved its current location because the school grew in size. The school is based on the philosophy that students will grow academically and socially by learning in a non-competitive environment.
