Introducing Green Vale
We are a vast campus abuzz with engaged students interacting comfortably with passionate adults.
PN - 8 Experience
Institutionally committed to childhood and early adolescence
The Pre-Nursery through 8th Grade age spectrum fosters an intimate community where growth is both slow and magically transformative.
Academics
In a joy-filled environment, children rise easily to intellectual challenge.
Success, failure and laughter are part of life and part of Green Vale. Our students feel both supported and inspired, allowing for high levels of instructional content and achievement.
Arts and Athletics
To sing, sculpt, and score a goal: all in a day’s work
At Green Vale, we are all creative artists, musicians and multi-sport athletes. Latent talent is often revealed, but the real goal is confidence, empathy and life-long appreciation gained through exposure and participation.

Expert Speaker Series

Nov. 29 | 8:30 am
Presented by The Green Vale School and The Parent Collective with Lindsay Weiner.

Lindsay Weiner works with Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence to counsel schools and parents on how to prioritize and implement Social Emotional Learning.

The Parent Collective offers prenatal and parenting classes in Manhattan, Fairfield County (CT), and Huntington, Long Island with a fresh approach that helps couples establish friendships among others living locally with children the same age and/or due at the same time. TPC is an alternative to other "one and done" childbirth and parenting classes.
