Encouraging and promoting the desire to learn - a natural gift of childhood - is the keystone of achieving academic excellence, confidence, creative problem solving skills, and social empathy at The Caedmon School.
Caedmon provides a wide variety of learning opportunities to challenge our children in developmentally appropriate ways. The structure of the classes allows for individualized instruction, in keeping with Montessori’s primary maxim to teach the child, not the material. In a supportive and nurturing environment, our children experience success, assume responsibility, and feel comfortable taking risks. We build self-esteem by teaching independence and by facilitating individual learning styles.
Our Parents Say...
“We are so thrilled with our experience at Caedmon! Caedmon’s values are aligned with ours: our toddler has learned to make thoughtful choices about what he wants to learn, has developed a robust vocabulary for expressing his feelings and wishes, and has learned to ask his friends for consent before initiating hugs.”
Our Parents Say...
“We can see our child developing inner resourcefulness and the ability to persist at challenging tasks. We see him growing in confidence by the day. Thank you, Caedmon faculty and staff for providing a cocoon of warmth and academic excellence!”
