On the Other Side
of the Door
On the other side of the door
I can be a different me.
As smart and as brave and as
funny or strong
As a person could want to be.
There’s nothing too hard
for me to do.
There’s no place I can’t explore
Because everything can happen
On the other side of the door.
On the other side of the door
I don’t have to go alone
If you come too,
we can sail tall ships
And fly where the wind has flown.
And wherever we go it is
almost sure
We’ll find what we’re looking for
Because everything can happen
On the other side of the door.
—Jeff Moss
Welcome from the Head of School
Welcome to our website. As you navigate through the pages, I hope you will get a true feeling for what makes The Caedmon School so special. We are a community of children, families, faculty and staff who come together as life long learners. This website will illustrate many ways in which we educate our children to become better people as well as better students. Our commitment to the four tenets of our mission — community, diversity, Montessori, and academic excellence — is embodied in all aspects of our school and we are proud to have been recognized nationally by the National Association of Independent Schools’ Lead Edge Award for Curriculum Development.
Our total community is very important to us. By embracing the mission of our school, you and your family will become a part of an enlightening and truly exciting educational experience. This is expressed in a poem by Jeff Moss which expresses beautifully and succinctly the journey you will take at The Caedmon School.
