Welcome to ISED-L. I've been a member since something like 1994!
There are two schools you may want to find out more about - New
Canaan Country Day in CT where Tim Bazemore is head and The Willow
School in Gladstone, NJ. Both are committed to the environment in
the school and in curriculum.
Best regards,
Pamela
