The image displays a real maple leaf alongside an artistic rendition of the same leaf. The real leaf is placed on a plain background and shows a variety of green, yellow, and red colors, indicating early autumn. Next to it, a watercolor painting of the leaf features bold outlines and vibrant watercolor fills in green and yellow against a soft blue background, capturing the essence of the original leaf.
A young girl smiles at the camera, her face painted to resemble a fox with red and black markings around her eyes and nose. The blurred background shows a colorful, sunlit outdoor setting, likely a fair or community event, enhancing the cheerful and playful atmosphere of the scene.
A group of children and adults are gathered on a scenic hilltop with panoramic views of lush green mountains and a bright blue sky. They are standing around a wooden picnic table and a stone fire pit, enjoying the beautiful outdoor setting. The group appears to be on a hike or outdoor excursion, basking in the sunshine and taking in the breathtaking landscape.

We believe education is an opportunity for bringing meaningful change to the world around us. Through shared authentic experiences, emphasis on the learning process, and the building of meaningful connections with the outside world, we envision our students to be empowered stewards of intellectual freedom, community mindedness, and of the natural world around them.
Fox Tracks
Bordered by the West Branch of the Battenkill River, the Historic Marble Rail Trail and the Manchester Civic Center fields, Red Fox Community School is an independent K-5 elementary school. In three multi-age classrooms children learn by doing, are encouraged to ask questions and try out big ideas, and wholeheartedly support one another in their efforts.
Fox Tracks gives you a glimpse into what the students have been working on during the fall of 2025.
“They really ‘get’ kids and understand different styles of learning.
Red Fox is teaching the next generation to think creatively,
be empowered and own their strengths.”
— Red Fox Parent
