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.

Greetings and welcome to our website. As you explore our site you will begin to learn about the qualities that make Caedmon a unique and special place. At Caedmon we teach in accordance with Maria Montessori’s philosophy of educating children, we strive for academic excellence at all levels of development, we embrace diversity in every element of our school, and we are committed to developing strong and nurturing community members.
In my nearly fourteen years as a part of this community I continue to be impressed by the dedication and professionalism of our faculty and staff. The work we all do is driven by our love of children and of learning. Our teachers have a wealth of knowledge about how children learn and the best methods for teaching at each developmental level. These are the people our children come to know and love, and the people who challenge and support them during their formative, elementary school years. We believe that children rise to the expectations that are set for them, and for this reason we set our expectations high. As you come to know our school I believe that you will notice, as I do, the care that goes into everything we do. I invite you to visit and experience Caedmon for yourself, because it is through experience that you will come to understand what our school is truly about.
Honor Taft
Head of School
