Mission
THE WILLOW SCHOOL, A SMALL, INDEPENDENT CO-EDUCATIONAL DAY SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS IN PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE, IS COMMITTED TO COMBINING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND THE JOY OF LEARNING AND TO EXPERIENCING THE WONDER OF THE NATURAL WORLD. MASTERY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IN AN INTEGRATED CURRICULUM THAT HELPS STUDENTS COMPREHEND THE PATTERNS OF HOW THINGS ARE CONNECTED AND PREPARES THEM FOR ALL AREAS OF THEIR SECONDARY EDUCATION. THE SCHOOL IS DEDICATED TO MAINTAINING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, AN OUTSTANDING FACULTY, AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF PLACE FOSTER INDEPENDENT THINKING, CREATIVITY, RESPONSIBILITY, AND INTEGRITY. THE WILLOW SCHOOL EDUCATION ENABLES CHILDREN TO DEVELOP AN ETHICAL APPROACH TO ALL RELATIONSHIPS, TO REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, AND TO BELIEVE IN THEIR POWER TO EFFECT POSITIVE CHANGE.
