FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Welcome to Holden Village School webpage.  The school at Holden Village is considered a “remote but necessary” school and as such lies 45 miles up Lake Chelan and 12 miles up into the Wilderness.  The retreat center of Holden Village has a year round staff of 60-75 people and their children are our students. During the winter months there can be up to ten to twelve feet of snow fall in the valley.  This creates some wonderful cross country skiing, snowshoeing and some spectacular sledding!  Thirteen children are enrolled this year and represent Kindergarten through grade 11. Our students are served by two teachers and a teachers’ aide.  While the students are very distant from Chelan they do have access to internet and email and are able to keep up with happenings in the news daily.  If you think that living and working at Holden Village might be something you would like to do, please follow the link on the left to get a better idea of what needs the Village may have.
Warmly,

Karen Walters, Principal
Holden Village School
