Early
Childhood Learning and Day Care The independent Yellow Springs public school system addresses
the educational needs of children in grades K through 12. It consists
of Mills Lawn
Elementary, McKinney
Middle School and Yellow
Springs High School. Each of these facilities provides individualized
attention in low teacher-pupil ratio classrooms. They provide the
dynamic educational experience needed for students to reach their
fullest potential as individuals and as responsible members of the
world community. Complementing these public institutions is an array
of alternative and private facilities, including at the early childhood
services of the Community
Children’s Center and Antioch
School,
one of the oldest alternative schools in the country. It was founded
in 1921 by Arthur
Morgan, then president of Antioch
College. The
Antioch School offers child-centered programs for nursery, kindergarten,
and traditional grade school ages in mixed-age groups. Near the Village,
is the Greene
County Career Center which provides quality career-technical
and academic instruction for over 550 high school and 4000 adult
students annually.
