Welcome Back

We are thrilled to announce that this fall marks the 50th anniversary of The First School! We look forward to a special celebration in the near future as we reconnect with families and cherish the countless memories we've created over the years.

Where it all started….

Ellie Spezell first opened the doors to The First School in 1975 with just a handful of students.

A letter from director and owner, Kim Israel

Over the years, The First School has grown in many ways. The school has expanded in size, and our facilities have had a few makeovers. Still, I’m most proud of the strong sense of community among First School families and our on-going tradition of community outreach. The generosity and involvement of our families are amazing. I hope that our alumni network will help many of you stay in touch and provide you with a link to our community

I look forward to welcoming many of you back to The First School!
