The Hudson River Valley

Marist's main campus is located in Poughkeepsie, NY, right along the majestic Hudson River. As reported by Conde Nast Traveler, the Hudson Valley has been named in "The 23 Best Places to Go in the U.S. in 2023."

Just over a century ago, the Marist Brothers came to New York's Hudson River Valley to train young men to continue the Brothers' vocation as great educators. Now, sectarian, Marist aligns itself with the unique and growing spirit of the Hudson Valley – a spirit of kind, proud progress.
