About Simon's Rock at Bard College

Simon's Rock at Bard College, commonly called Simon's Rock, is a private liberal arts college in Barrytown, New York. It is part of, and adjacent to, Bard College in neighboring Annandale-on-Hudson. Both are in the town of Red Hook. The school is an early college where students enroll after tenth or eleventh grade, rather than after graduating from high school. That is, it is an early college entrance program. Most students transfer to larger institutions after receiving an Associate of Arts degree in two years, although many stay for four to receive a Bachelor of Arts. The college has had many names: Simon's Rock, Simon's Rock Early College, Simon's Rock of Bard College for a period after 1979, when it was acquired by Bard College, and Simon's Rock College of Bard. In August 2007, it changed to Bard College at Simon's Rock, in an effort "to be more clear about identity" and "to be very clear about the Bard College system." It became Simon's Rock at Bard College in 2025, when it moved from Massachusetts to New York.
