GLEN SPEY and HURLEYVILLE, NY — The Homestead School invites families, prospective students and community members to experience its inclusive learning environment during the annual Open House on Saturday, June 14. The event will take place at both the Glen Spey campus (pre-K through sixth grade) and the Hurleyville campus, home to the Collaborative College High School (CCHS) (grades seven through early college). 

Glen Spey’s open house will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hurleyville’s will take place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. 

Guests at both campuses will take campus tours, meet faculty and staff, and see student work on display. Both sites will have children’s activities, including crafts and a bouncy house. Food will be available at both locations, with food trucks and local ice cream vendors stationed at the Glen Spey campus. 

The Glen Spey campus features a farm-based Montessori program, set on 100 acres, that includes permaculture learning across various gardens, farm animals and outdoor classrooms. Leadership opportunities, nutrition education, local plant identification and service learning—such as composting, service projects and volunteering for local food pantries—are embedded into everyday learning, the school said. 

As students advance into the middle and high school years, the Hurleyville campus offers CCHS, in which students gain early college credits while tackling real-world challenges. The open house will spotlight achievements such as CCHS’s first graduating class, including a National Merit finalist, college acceptances to leading educational institutions and significant tuition savings through dual-enrollment with SUNY Sullivan.

“We invite you to join us on June 14 to experience how The Homestead School is growing confident, capable changemakers—from their first steps in pre-K to their first college credits,” a press release reads.
