Meet HMS Alumni
Jo Parker '16
"Every time we drove up the driveway entrance to the school, I looked forward to being outside. At other schools, you’re in a building for eight hours a day, and you don’t get to connect with nature. HMS is intentional about giving you that connection. It helped refresh my mind and made learning in a traditional classroom even better." Read more.
Gabby Wilkinson '12
"High Meadows flipped a switch in my heart and my mind that shifted my default setting from silent, small, and “perfect” to that of curiosity, humility, and vision." Read more.
Steven Gould '16

Regardless of your previous school or camp experience, you can be a kid and have fun while learning and playing at High Meadows.” Read more.

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.
What is Your Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice?
At High Meadows School & Camp, we strive to be a space where open and respectful minds can create a place of joy and belonging. Embracing diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives is essential to our mission. We uphold an expectation that our community members embody shared values of respect, empathy, and advocacy. Our year-round commitment to equitable policies, catalytic conversations, and inclusive curricula and experiences, empowers individuals to create positive change for a more peaceful world.
Will My Child Be Prepared for High School & Beyond?
Absolutely! One Class of 2022 graduate recently said, "I am in my junior year of high school, and the only thing that I can compare the rigor to is 8th grade at High Meadows. I was so well prepared that freshman and sophomore year were a breeze."
After completing eighth grade at High Meadows, students choose to attend a variety of high schools, including their local public high schools, magnet schools, or private high schools. They graduate from our middle school program with a strong academic foundation, confidence in their abilities, and love of learning that fuels future success as valedictorians, salutatorians, Governor’s Honors Program participants, U.S. Youth Senate Program participants, National Honor Society members, Beta Club members, and more.
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 2026–2027 school year.

When you visit, stand on the Meadow, close your eyes, and listen. Let what you hear influence your decision. You’ll hear children playing, animals, and the joyful voices of the adults. That’s a great indicator that you’re in the right place.
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.
