Supporting socially responsible, lifelong learners since 1989
Red Cedar School is an independent day school for students in grades K – 9. The school
is located north of the village of Bristol at the edge of the Green Mountains in Vermont.
At Red Cedar students develop a love of learning within a community that values mutual
respect and honors the voice of each individual. Intellectual curiosity, critical thinking
and communication skills are supported by an interactive curriculum that emphasizes
authentic and rigorous learning. Personal and social responsibility are cultivated, and
students grow to become active citizens of the local and world community.
Small classes emphasize inquiry, writing, discussion, and hands-on learning. Special
programs, field research, travel study, wilderness trips, workshops, the outdoor
classroom, and the school garden augment classroom learning.
