The Willows Mission

At The Willows, we believe each child brings our community an extraordinary gift: a curious mind, ready to explore and eager to learn. Our mission is to grow that gift by challenging our students to uncover meaning and significance in the world around them and to become capable, confident individuals who demonstrate character, engagement, and a joyful passion for creative inquiry across a lifetime.

Everything you learn and experience at The Willows...

  • Expressing Yourself

    will be with you through secondary school, college, and the rest of your life.

  • Loving Learning

  • Taking a Risk

  • Lisa Rosenstein, Head of School

    Action is fundamental to learning. Deep learning occurs when children are active participants in the learning process. This philosophy is the foundation of our curriculum.

  • Jeremy Fassler, Class of 2004, Harvard graduate

    I am beyond grateful for the education that I got at The Willows, and I envy the young kids who get to go there today.

  • Evan More, Class of 2007, Kenyon College graduate

    The Willows set me up to be who I am today. I was able to fall in love with learning and music and sports because of the powerful staff, the relationships I made, and the open and free environment The Willows provides.

  • Cathy Leverkus, Director of Library Services

    The Willows empowers students through a nurturing environment where students can stretch their imagination, question, research, think, and create.

  • Wendy Felson, Member, The Willows Board of Trustees, Former Board Chair, and Alumni Parent

    Both of my children found who each one was at The Willows. They were able to explore themselves without any regard to who they thought they needed to be. They were given the confidence to be who they are. As a parent, that is an important piece to me.
