Red Cedar School

Red Cedar School is a Vermont Recognized K – 12 independent school. We are currently accepting applications for students at the elementary and middle school levels. 

We weigh the following considerations in our decision to admit a student to the school: the motivation of the student to learn and take responsibility for him or herself within the school’s setting, the appropriateness of our program in meeting the child’s needs, the support of the child’s parents for the philosophy and curriculum of the school, and the fit between the student and the rest of the class group.

We accept students who are age five or older, or who will turn five by September 1st of the year they are entering.

Applications received by March 1st will be given first consideration. We consider applications after this date on a space available basis. We accept transfer students mid-year if there are openings.

Red Cedar School welcomes students of any race, gender, sexual orientation, color, creed, religion, class, national or ethnic origin. All students are accorded the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally made available to students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, color, creed, religion, class, national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship programs, athletic programs or other school-administered programs.




Founded in 1989, the school has a proud history of supporting socially responsible, lifelong learners.
