At Hillbrook, our youngest son found kindness, acceptance, and teachers who saw the best in him and both encourage and challenge him at every step.
He is not just doing well, he is thriving! He has gained self-confidence, friendship and deep understanding of the world around him, all in a positive nurturing environment. The school has made our lives so much richer and better.

When we found Hillbrook School, we knew we had found something unique.
Searching for a school these days is a daunting task, and we knew that it would be tough to find a school that stayed true to our values while also providing an excellent academic foundation for our kids. Hillbrook School emphasizes empathy along with excellence, a rare combination that we knew would be the best possible fit for us. These elements have helped our son’s mind and heart expand in ways we couldn’t have imagined. We noticed an instantaneous and palpable change in our son that has continued throughout his time at Hillbrook. He is still our “Zane”, but the best possible version of himself. His curiosity is encouraged, his mind is challenged, and most importantly, his kindness is celebrated. The confidence his teachers have given him is something that he will carry with him his entire life.

Hillbrook's true gift is this: our daughter walks out our front door each morning excited for what the school day will bring.
Hillbrook unlocks her curiosity and love of learning while teaching her to be emotionally intelligent, resilient, and believe in herself. The teachers instill these critical traits in a caring and supportive environment. We think these qualities will lead her towards success and happiness, whatever path in life she may forge.

A lot of schools talk about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, but Hillbrook really integrates DEI into everything they do.
HIllbrook is truly an extraordinary place for children to learn and grow.

We fell in love with Hillbrook for two reasons - its style of hands-on, exploratory, project-based learning but also its ability to raise exemplary students who are mature, poised, well-spoken, conscientious and kind.
Our eldest daughter joined Hillbrook as a timid, shy girl who was afraid to make her thoughts known to others and graduated the school 10 years later with a maturity and confidence that leaves others with the impression she is entering college and not high school. When our daughter was accepted into a prestigious top tier boarding school and placed into their honors program as a 9th grader, we knew that Hillbrook had prepared her well.
