Cold Spring School

Cold Spring School was founded in 1982 by a group of parents who wanted the philosophy they admired at a much-loved childcare program to continue through their children's elementary school years. From the founding years to the present, our fundamental belief that children learn best when they are actively involved in the educational process has guided teachers and staff in the creation of a rich, child-centered learning environment. Teachers understand and respond to the strengths and challenges of each child and build a respectful partnership between student, teacher and family. To build a strong learning community, children usually stay with the same Master Teacher for two years in a mixed-grade ( www.coldspringschool.org )
