Green Meadow's Campus
11 acres of wooded campus surround our students in nature every day.
Our Campus
Green Meadow Waldorf School’s campus in Chestnut Ridge resembles a small village. The campus includes six instructional buildings on 11 acres, with ample playgrounds and athletic fields.
Our extended community is comprised of 200 adjacent acres for our families’ use, offering a beautiful rural environment of forests and fields, and providing opportunities for our students to bring their curriculum to life by connecting classroom lessons to real-world experiences. Kindergarteners feed chickens and gather eggs; third-graders milk cows and harvest biodynamic crops; sixth-graders sow seeds and tend the garden.
The location
A Suburban School with City Resources, in a Natural Setting
Our proximity to New York City (only 20 miles north of the George Washington Bridge) and the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley and the rest of New York State enable our students to enjoy the best of both worlds. Our location in Rockland County, NY, offers easy access to all kinds of class trips, ranging from one day to one week, to city museums and historical sites as well as beautiful state parks where students camp, hike, stargaze, and immerse themselves in the wilderness.
Local community resources include Threefold Educational Center, The Fellowship Community, The Pfeiffer Center, Eurythmy Spring Valley, The Hungry Hollow Co-op, The Fiber Craft Studio, and Sunbridge Institute. We also encourage support for local businesses.
