The Willow School

 
 

The Willow School, a small, independent coeducational day school for students in kindergarten through eighth grade, is located in Gladstone, NJ. Respect for, and an deep understanding of, the natural world is a key component of the philosophy and curriculum. A commentary on the mission statement states that "We are a school that sees sustainability as a key element in our relationship with the natural world as much as with our social world", and further states that students "also learn to share, respect, and conserve nature’s resources." It is no surprise that The Willow School called on CitiLog for full circle wood recycling during its construction. White pine salvaged from the site was used to make a wide variety of furniture.

 
   
 
We created extensive cabinetry for the school including built-in closet/ bookshelf /whiteboard combinations. It is rewarding to know that rather then end up as wood chips, the majestic White Pine that stood on this site now serve the students and teachers every day.  
   
 
We take great pride in our work. There is something particularly rewarding about making a table and chairs where a student and teacher can sit down - and the magic of learning occurs. Lessons taught here will last a lifetime, and we are proud to be part of the learning environment.
