Soundview Preparatory School is an independent, coeducational preparatory school that serves grades 6-12. It is located in Yorktown Heights, New York. It was founded in March 1989 by its Headmaster W. Glyn Hearn after a group of families came forward seeking an alternative school. It moved from its original location at St. John's Church in Pleasantville to the Union Church of Pocantico Hills, and then to an office building in Mount Kisco, and finally moved to its current location because the school grew in size. The school is based on the philosophy that students will grow academically and socially by learning in a non-competitive environment.

Extracurricular activities
Soundview has many clubs, each one hosted by a teacher, where students can meet others who share an immediate interest. Some clubs offered have been the Knitting Club, the Politics Club, the Chess Club, and the Yearbook Club. Usually, the clubs meet once a week. Soundview's athletes are the Soundview Bulldogs, and sports played throughout the year include soccer, basketball, bowling and Ultimate Frisbee. To foster a sense of community and school spirit, all students are encouraged to attend at least some games. In past years, the school has had an annual trip to a foreign country, and students have been able to visit England, Italy, Greece, China, Russia, Spain, and Argentina.
