The Willow Mission

The joy of learning and the wonder of the natural world inform every aspect of The Willow School, an independent school for students in preschool through eighth grade. Willow students strive to excel academically and develop a strong work ethic through our mindful, integrated curriculum. By embodying the virtues, Willow maintains an environment where respect for the individual and an understanding of place fosters independent thinking, interconnectivity, creativity, responsibility, and integrity. The Willow School education empowers children to develop an ethical approach to all relationships and to believe in their power to effect positive change.
