- We passionately believe in our Mission & Guiding
Principles, making certain that they are reflected in our teachings
in and outside the classroom.
- We have a distinctive environment where children explore,
inquire, learn, and become positive contributors to society. Our
environment is a combination of many elements: the people, campus,
use of space and, of course, our child-centered approach. We are
much more than a school-we are a community. Parents are
encouraged to be actively involved. And, High Meadows faculty take
full advantage of our more than 40 acres of meadow and woodlands,
using nature as an extension of the classroom.
- The co-teaching model is used in Preschool through Fifth
Grade. Two teachers work together to serve their entire class of
students. This method offers numerous academic and personal growth
benefits to our students.
- Emphasis, a period of time when the entire High Meadows
community studies a single subject, is a highlight of the academic
year. Process, not product, is the key component to Emphasis.
- Our authentic assessment methods give teachers, students, and
parents common points of reference to guide continued progress-both
on an individual and a whole-class basis. This information is noted
and shared with parents in both formal and informal methods.
- We are accredited and have many affiliations. The
Anti-Defamation League recognizes High Meadows as a No Place for
Hate school and we have been recognized as a Blue Ribbon School of
Excellence as well as many recognitions for our environmental
sustainability efforts.

High Meadows certainly knows what is best for children and the education my child has received does not compare to any other school. Their child-centered approach to education is amazing. My son has thrived here, the teachers are top notch and I could not imagine a better school. We are lucky to have a school like this in our city.
