"It has been the hope of those who teach in this school to make of it a clear window on the world, so that the children graduating from the school would meet adulthood with the excitement of well-armed challenge, fully enlightened idealism, and the courage of real wisdom."

The Green Hedges School journey is fortified by developmentally-appropriate learning and experiences starting at age 2 and culminating in Grade 8. The youngest children, ages 2 through 5, are steeped in a deep love for learning to foster independence and curiosity. The oldest children, in Grades 6 – 8, participate in challenging academics within a safe, supportive community-based environment so necessary during the awkward teen years. During Grades 1 – 5, because of the excellent faculty and small class size, Green Hedges students thrive in this child-centered community because each child is known well. The Green Hedges program serves as an indispensable scaffolding, providing essential cultivation throughout each phase of the journey in pursuit of developing the graduate.
