We also offer instruction in computer coding, art, music, and physical education. Our students leave elementary school well-prepared for success in middle school.

Additional Programs

At Farmingville Elementary, education and inspiration does not only take place inside the classroom. Our students also have the opportunity to take part in unique learning experiences outside the classroom walls.

The Hickories

Farmingville shares a unique relationship with our neighbor, The Hickories, a fully sustainable fruit and vegetable farm. Our generous FES parent community has allowed Farmingville and The Hickories to partner in the creation of a hands-on curriculum. Our students have the opportunity to visit the farm yearly to study and enjoy the lifecycles of the farm’s goats, chickens, apple trees, vegetables, and soil.
