Message from the Head of School

Think back to your childhood. Was school a joyful place for you? Do you hold fond memories of your teachers? Do you remember engaging in meaningful explorations of big ideas that interested you? Did school encourage you to ask “why” and prepare you for the challenges of adulthood? Those who have attended High Meadows School answer “yes” to each of these questions, and they will eagerly want to tell you about their experiences.

High Meadows is what school should be. Teaching for us is about guiding, not telling, and our teachers are both passionate and compassionate. Our inquiry-based approach encourages children to ask the next question, explore what matters to them, and to discover the wonders of life for themselves. Children leave High Meadows empowered with a strong sense of responsibility for the natural world, a deep respect for international perspectives, and an intuitive understanding of life’s interconnectedness .

Many of the adults in our community wish they could have attended High Meadows when they were kids (in fact, some of them did)! Please come visit us to experience the magic of High Meadows for yourself.

Warmly,
Jay Underwood, Head of School
