I am a parent at the Hudson School. I have child going into 10th grade who started there in 5th grade, and a child going into 6th who also started in 5th. The school starts in 5th grade. We have been overjoyed with both the education and the community that Hudson School provides. Of course it is always better to visit when the school is in session, but even a short conversation with the school's passionate and dedicated director will give you a sense of the school. The most important anecdote I have for you is that both of my children are HAPPY to go to school every day.
