The Scarborough Day School was a private school in Scarborough-on-Hudson, in Briarcliff Manor, New York, United States. Frank and Narcissa Cox Vanderlip established the school in 1913 at their estate, Beechwood. The school, a nonsectarian nonprofit college preparatory day school, taught students at pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade levels and had small class sizes, with total enrollment rarely exceeding 150 students.:46–7 Since 1980, the buildings and property have been owned by The Clear View School Day Treatment Center,:158 which runs a day treatment program for 118 students. The current school still uses the Scarborough School's theater, which was opened in 1917. The school campus is a contributing property to the Scarborough Historic District.

The Scarborough Day School was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. The school also was a member of the Cum Laude Society and the National Association of Independent Schools.:47 Its seal copies that of Scarborough, North Yorkshire; Scarborough-on-Hudson's namesake.:51
