Welcome to Cold Spring School – a small, unique school community committed to progressive education. Cold Spring’s founders had a vision to create a school in which every child was known and every voice was heard. Their vision embraced thematic teaching in which learning is integrated and connected. They dreamed of classroom environments that sparked curiosity and honored children’s thinking and creativity. Thirty five years later, this vision still holds true. 

The trustees, administrators, and teachers proudly shoulder this responsibility as we work to design our distinct school that reflects the ideas, ethics, attitudes, and cultures of progressive education.

Come experience the joy in learning, the joy of teaching, and the joy of being part of our Cold Spring School community!
