The Board of Education is committed to educational programs that strive to develop concerned individuals who are caring, confident, articulate, open-minded, and flexible. The Board believes that students should be able to work cooperatively with peers, staff, and community members in a nurturing environment that respects individual differences.

In order to prepare district students for the future, the Board encourages the development of curricula designed to teach the skills of computing, problem-solving, creativity, analysis, syntheses, critical thinking, and communication. Students must also become aware of emerging global manner. Ultimately, students must assume responsibility for their own learning, in order to become self-directed, lifelong learners. The district school should stimulate and expand a continual learning process, and cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the rights and responsibilities of American citizens, which will enable students to function effectively as independent individuals in a democratic society.

The educational program will provide each child with the fundamental academic skills and basic knowledge required for his/her maximum educational development, the opportunity for each child to develop his/her interests and abilities to the fullest extent according to his/her individual potential and special services to promote the physical, mental, and emotional development of each child. Extracurricular activities will be offered when possible to enhance the academic program.

the Board encourages parents and teachers to offer their expertise in helping to develop a school environment that is academically challenging, psychologically satisfying and socially fulfilling for students at all levels. The objectives of an educational program are best realized when mutual understanding, cooperation, and effective communications exist among the home, community, and school.

The Fire Island Union Free School District consists of one school building, Woodhull Elementary, that houses district students in grades Pre K-6. Thirteen full and part time teaching professionals provide a comprehensive program of study that contains all of the state required components and more. The teacher-to-student ratio of less than 1-10 allows teachers to better meet the individual needs of their students.

The unique marine environment is a natural outdoor laboratory and has become an integral part of the district's science program. All rooms are wired for video and intra classroom communication. In addition, each room has access to the Internet.

Students in grades 7-12 have numerous options to further their education. There are a number of private/parochial schools on Long Island that can be accessed by district transportation. Students choosing a public school option may attend either Bay Shore UFSD or Islip UFSD. The district provides the cost of tuition and transportation for both public school districts. These options continue to allow each of the district's children to better meet their individual educational needs.
