“The middle way school of the hudson valley is an independent day school with 29 students ages 3-9 currently enrolled in three mixed-age classes, with plans to keep expanding to include preschool to 12th grade. As one of the first buddhist schools for children in the west, middle way is on a mission to prepare students to take their places in the modern world with the noble qualities of intelligence, confidence, and discipline, with an understanding of interdependence and a fundamental motivation of altruism. Students and families receive dedicated attention and individualized instruction, as well as an invitation to walk the path of wakefulness. The middle way school is a 501(c)3 organization incorporated in the state of new york and recognized by the nys education department (nysed) as a nonpublic school. It is a member of the national association of independent schools (nais) and the ulster county chamber of commerce. The research and development of the mws model is overseen by middle way education, a separate not for profit organization dedicated to creating pathways for traditional buddhist wisdom and knowledge to enhance modern education for the benefit of this and future generations. We are grateful to the generous donors of khyentse foundation, who have given significant financial support to the school. Guided by a number of teachers and scholars, middle way is not tethered to one single buddhist tradition or path. Nor do we blend them together until they are unrecognizable. Rather, we respect the variety of buddhist wisdom traditions, the lineages, and the varied paths that have helped individuals connect with the buddhadharma for 2,500 years. The middle way school welcomes students and hires employees of any race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity and make reasonable accommodations for individuals with known disabilities.”
