Hillbrook School is noticeably different
from the moment you step on campus.
Pathways lead around old oaks, down to
the creek and past the chicken coop. Students
run, explore, and discover while
letting their curiosity abound. Our nearly
400 students—in junior kindergarten to
eighth grade—will encounter a unique
blend of challenging academics, hands-on
learning experiences, and service learning
opportunities that foster a genuine
love of learning. At Hillbrook, students
are taught to ask questions from many
different perspectives, supported by an
innovative learning environment, while
working together to start projects and
learning journeys. Hillbrook is accredited
by NAIS and CAIS, and its campus includes
a gym, pool, field, art studios, and
science and maker labs—including the
MakerSpace and a 1:1 iPad program for
middle school students.
