#PROUDTOBEGST

Greater Southern Tier (GST) BOCES, in strong partnership with our 21 component school districts, fosters and creates educational opportunities that are engaging, relevant and supportive to all learners.

We are constantly researching and investigating how to create the most engaging working environment while continuing to meet the demands of the 21st Century. Our students certainly deserve learning opportunities that reflect the challenges they will be faced with in whatever career pathway they select.

The world has changed and afforded the 21st Century Learner the opportunity to learn and experience knowledge differently than anyone thought possible just a few short years ago. We live in an information driven world, and we must ensure that all students in the Greater Southern Tier have the same experiences and opportunities as any other students across the state or the nation. Through collaboration with our 21school districts, business and industry partners and many others, these are the learning, working and educational spaces we create together at GST BOCES. Together, we provide authentic, diversified and supportive environments with an unwavering focus on student success.

Educating all children is our commitment and is definitely a “team” effort. The Greater Southern Tier is proud to be paving the road to success for your child. We are so glad that you are part of our team!
