School District and Child Care
Our goal is to ensure that every Florida student leaves us with the necessary skills for college and careers, and to be active, productive, and positive adults. With the ability to acquire and disseminate necessary information from a wealth of sources, our students graduate as problem solvers and critical thinkers.
Our school community is approximately 60 miles northwest of New York City and includes the Village of Florida and parts of the towns of Warwick and Goshen. Long established as an agricultural community, Florida is also home to a growing number of professionals, business owners, and commuters.
The Florida Union Free School District offers a wide range of academic programs, activities, and athletics to encourage every student’s active engagement in school. The achievements of our students are known throughout New York state. Our district may be relatively small, but our students dream big and accomplish much.
The Florida Union Free School district has about 840 students who are served in two school buildings: Golden Hill Elementary (pre-K through grade 5), and S.S. Seward Institute (grades 6-12).
