The new Windy Hill School opened its doors on June 25, welcoming teachers and their young students into a bright and beautiful new environment, a lovely place for them to teach, learn and grow. The school sits on the periphery of campus near Colby Farm before an expansive grassy area and magnificent views of Mount Kearsarge. With the new building, all the school's programs are now housed under one roof. The school's new classrooms are light-filled and spacious, with built-in playhouses, computer areas and kitchens. The building also offers two "smart" or technology-enabled classrooms for child development classes, an early childhood curriculum laboratory and resource library, and offices for faculty in the college's Social Sciences and Education Program. It's a glorious new day for the Windy Hill School.
