Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Progressive Education?
Progressive education is a method of teaching that emphasizes experiential learning and critical thinking. It is based on the idea that education should be student-centered, fostering curiosity, creativity, and collaboration rather than rote memorization and passive reception of information. Progressive education often includes project-based learning, interdisciplinary studies, and real-world problem-solving, aiming to prepare students to be active and engaged citizens.
Is High Meadows School Similar to a Montessori School?
There are aspects of our school philosophies and practices that align with Montessori methodology. Shared practices include: multiage (blended grade level) classrooms, inquiry and student-directed learning, a high respect paid to students as capable learners and community members, differentiated instruction, and hands-on learning. We have had many students transition to High Meadows successfully from a Montessori background.
Is Financial Aid Available?
Yes! Approximately 15% of our students in Pre-K through Eighth Grade receive need-based financial aid. Our financial aid program is designed to bridge the gap between what a family can afford to pay and the full cost of tuition.
Is High Meadows School Accepting Applications?
Yes. We are accepting applications for the 2025–2026 school year.

What Our Families Are Saying
Hands down THE best place for education! The progressive, nurturing environment has engaged my middle schooler in a way that has allowed him to find who he is and where his talents truly are.
We chose High Meadows because of its reputation for high academic performance and progressive, outdoor-based education. We also value the school’s focus on inclusion and exposure to a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
HMS offers the environment I want my children to learn in: a sense of ownership, self-advocacy, and a balance of emotional and intellectual intelligence that creates the space to grow as individuals.
