Who We Are

Wellspring Community School is a non-profit co-educational day school that gives equal importance to a child’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical health. In 2006, five families and one brave educator forged an educational space that values learning from our environment, communities and selves as the best and most practical education available today.

The school is governed by the body of founding families and Wellspring staff, with consistent input by parents and children in the school.

"I am struck by the fact that the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think that the same is true of human beings. We do not wish to see children precocious, making great strides in their early years like sprouts, producing soft and perishable timber, but better if they expand slowly at first, as if contending with difficulties, and so are solidified and perfected. Such trees continue to expand with nearly equal rapidity to an extreme old age." - Henry David Thoreau
