Welcome to Sussex School!

We believe education should nurture each child’s creativity and natural desire to learn, while modeling a healthy balance between work and play. In addition to providing a solid academic background, we strive to develop each student as an independent, inquiring intellect and a positive member of the community.

Sussex, a kindergarten through eighth grade elementary school, was founded in 1971. Located on more than two acres, the campus includes classes in a beautiful old stone-faced house, two other classroom buildings, a spacious art studio, and a multi-use facility that serves as an auditorium and gym. The school has 84 students, 13 full or part-time teachers, and two administrators. Sussex is an independent private school dedicated to offering the best possible learning opportunities for children from kindergarten through eighth grade.
