Cold Spring School is a progressive, independent school that welcomes children from diverse backgrounds in multi-grade classrooms from preschool to sixth grade. Small by design, Cold Spring serves 140 learners. We believe that children should have a voice in their own education. Our integrated teaching approach, with specific grade-level benchmarks, guides instruction and gives children space to ask questions, think deeply about ideas, and contribute meaningfully to the classroom. Cold Spring learners work to find solutions with an emphasis on explaining their thinking and their paths to discovering the solution, not just to arrive at an answer.
