School Notes

  • At Manitou, we believe children learn best when engaged in opportunities that allow them to imagine, question, and express who they are and how they see their experience.
  • We believe this engagement should be cultivated by caring and creative, talented and informed professionals who are mindful of the world we live in and capable of developing the most exciting and proven educational practices. We also place a strong emphasis on using nature and our surrounding environment to create amazing learning opportunities for our children.
  • The Manitou School is an independent progressive school in the Hudson Valley. Rooted in inquiry-based learning and guided by the principles of Universal Design for Learning, Manitou nurtures each child's curiosity, creativity, and sense of purpose. Our small class sizes, commitment to social-emotional growth, and emphasis on restorative practices create a vibrant and inclusive community where children are truly seen and supported. At Manitou, students build strong academic foundations while developing the empathy, resilience, and collaborative spirit needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
