Horace Mann School

The "Ivy League"

Horace Mann School is a part of the Ivy Preparatory School League. Like the Ivy League for universities, this was originally an athletic conference, not a scholastic one, but over time has evolved into a shorthand designation for some of the most prestigious private schools in New York. The athletic division includes the Dalton School in Manhattan, Poly Prep in Brooklyn, Fieldston in the Bronx, Riverdale in the Bronx, Trinity School in Manhattan, The Collegiate School in Manhattan, and Hackley School in Tarrytown.

Fieldston, Riverdale, and Horace Mann together are known as the "hilltop schools," as all three are located within two miles of each other in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, on a hilly area above Van Cortlandt Park. The three also share perhaps the greatest amount of inter-school sports rivalry.
