AcornFest is High Meadow School's Annual Fall festival and open house! High Meadow School, a progressive independent school in the Mid-Hudson Valley for nearly 40 years.   We serve children in grades Nursery 3 through 8th grade.   At High Meadow School, our mission is to foster creative and intellectual discovery, civic engagement, and personal growth through a relevant and rigorous curriculum.   We strive for a diverse and inclusive culture that honors each child's approach to constructing knowledge, and encourages risk-taking in academic and artistic pursuits.   High Meadow celebrates the joy of learning and the power of community by joining teachers, students, and parents through volunteerism and school-wide cultural events.
