It’s hard to believe 2025 is already coming to a close! This school year has been filled with joyful moments, meaningful connections, and the kind of learning that reminds us why High Meadows is such a special place. As you know first-hand, there are not many schools as magical as High Meadows. Maybe it’s the quality of our teaching and the emphasis on inquiry-based, hands-on curriculum. Perhaps it’s our faculty’s extraordinary love and respect for children and childhood, or our deep commitment to nurturing a connection with the natural world. Or maybe it’s the way our teachers give students both choice and voice in their learning, all while helping shape kind, caring, empathetic, resilient young adults.
We are grateful to be in a position to provide the robust educational experience that our families expect and cherish. Meeting our High Meadows Fund goal each year ensures that we can be responsive not only to the essential needs of our students and campus, but also to the extra tools, ideas, and opportunities teachers and students dream of exploring. The Fund allows us to confidently “say YES” to the moments that enrich the day-to-day High Meadows experience for every student. The High Meadows Fund has supported: (click here to read more)

Your annual support of the High Meadows Fund makes that possible. Through the power of collective giving and each family contributing what they can, High Meadows continues to thrive. Thank you for helping sustain the heart, magic, and mission of our school.
The High Meadows community celebrates and perpetuates each individual’s quest for knowledge and skill, sense of wonder, and connection to the natural environment. We empower each to be a compassionate, responsible, and active global citizen.
