Why Highlands?

Highlands School is a preschool through 8th grade school — intentionally.

Our student-centered academic environment motivates students to take ownership of their learning from early childhood and beyond. Our educational approach creates a supportive and nurturing environment that encourages students to take risks in pursuit of greater understanding while also preserving the innocence of childhood.

At  Highlands we believe in allowing "kids to be kids" and the importance of age-appropriate activities.
