The faculty and staff at The Caedmon School are committed to providing personalized, engaging learning experiences for students.

With advanced degrees and Montessori certification, Caedmon teachers are equipped with the training and expertise to provide just the right mix of warmth and challenge to optimize the learning for each student.

All faculty and staff receive ongoing in-house professional development, as well as attend workshops and conferences on significant topics in education, such as diversity and equity work, social emotional learning, brain development, and progressive curriculum.

Our Parents Say...
“We appreciate the way the teachers see our child- they always make sure to point out his strengths, both in conversation with him and with us as parents.

Our Parents Say...
Thank you, Caedmon faculty and staff for providing a cocoon of warmth and academic excellence!”
