This is a large school with a small school feel. It has amazing facilities. The teachers and other educators and administrators are motivated and caring and very knowledgeable. The students are kind and generally very happy. There is a real sense of a caring community and good learning at Cider Mill School.

This school is beautiful in its facilities and in the teaching that goes on there. My children are thriving and learning academics as well as how to get along in the world at this wonderful school. Great, dedicated teachers and staff. We are so fortunate to be in this town and this school.

My daughter just finished at Cider Mill and my son just began. Daughter's experience in the Cannondale house was outstanding. Fantastic teachers, lots of individual attention, great communication with me as needed. My son is in Belden Hill house. He absolutely loves his teacher, and is excited and engaged by the learning experience. Front office staff is a bit on the stern side, but it's only notable because the rest of the school staff is so great.

Cider Mill is an outstanding school with very devoted and competent teachers and a wonderful administration. Children are challenged academically, supported, and taught respect for each other.

Me and my children moved here over the Christmas holiday, and my 4th grade son has completely adjusted to Cider Mills. He was welcomed by all with smiling faces. They teach the children not only book smart, but how to be respectful to other children and adults. It has made the move so much easier that my children enjoy school in Wilton.
