The historic hilltop campus was sold to the Swiss firm [[EF Education First|EF]] and became a branch of its foreign exchange secondary school, the [[Education First EF International Academy|EF International Academy]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Brenner |first=Elsa |date=February 17, 2008|title=Marymount Being Sold; Village to Gain Taxes |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/17/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/17collegewe.html |newspaper=The New York Times |location=New York |access-date=July 17, 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ef.edu/academy/about-ef-academy/ |title=About EF Academy |year=2014 |work=Ef.edu |publisher=EF Education First |access-date=July 17, 2014 }}</ref> [[File:Washington Irving School far angle jeh.jpg|thumb|Washington Irving School on South Broadway]] Tarrytown is divided between two [[school districts]]: [[Union Free School District of the Tarrytowns]]<!--UNI 28650--> and [[Irvington Union Free School District]]<!--UNI 15450-->.
