Caedmon is…

… a unique education.  Quite simply, we do
what is good for children.

Upper East Side of Manhattan.

… an ongoing school, nursery through 5th grades.
Our program combines high academic standards,
an emphasis on the arts, and a strong focus on social development.

and 10 years.  The average class size is 16-18 children with two teachers.

learning by sustaining the natural motivation with which all children are born.

is a cornerstone of our philosophy.

us from as many as 30 different countries.

atmosphere and a very active Parents Auxiliary.
