Welcome

Thanks for taking interest in the Hawthorne Valley School. Whether you are a parent looking for a first experience for your young child, a middle school student thinking of high school, or an 11th grader thinking of next steps, we welcome you to explore Hawthorne Valley and expect you'll discover a remarkable place to study, live, learn, and grow.  

Hawthorne Valley School is situated on a 400-acre working farm and is part of a larger organization that includes economic, ecologic, and socio-cultural research groups, on-farm education programs, and numerous small-scale enterprises. Hawthorne Valley is a learning community, made whole through an active festival life, practical work, real life experiences, and a dynamic group of students, parents, faculty, and staff. 

We welcome you to explore this site but, even better, visit us in person and discover the people, place, and purpose that make Hawthorne Valley so unique!
