Spicewood Country School was established in 1980. It was founded by educators with the idea to offer something special in early childhood education. The program was designed to meet the needs of the whole child in the intellectual, emotional, physical, and social areas, and to ready children in these areas for entrance into public and private schools. Spicewood has had a positive impact on the learning and self-esteem of thousands of Austin's children and stays full by the recommendation of their parents. The setting includes 9 acres of hill country, 4,000 square feet of classrooms, a fully equipped shaded playground and picnic areas, a fenced swimming pool, barnyard animals, a sports field, and room to explore and fish on the banks of Bull Creek. Unique features include grazing horses on the grounds, creating the atmosphere of a friendly farm while close to city life, and an excellent curriculum of planned units and themes that are changed yearly.
