Upland Hills School, founded in 1971, is an independent school community whose purpose is to educate pre high school children.
Our aim is to discover and respect the uniqueness of every child.
Upland Hills School is a place where community comes first.
Our work is centered on the idea that every child is born a genius and that the true function of education is to draw out that genius.
We have worked to create an environment where childhood is protected, nurtured, and defended.
A place where children can be inspired and where learning to understand is at the heart of all instruction.
We strive to create a sense of belonging, a sense of responsibility, and a sense of self-knowing.
