Welcome to Highlands School

Highlands School is an independent school distinguished by our diverse community and a commitment to academic excellence, creative expression, and leadership development. For several years, Highlands has been honored as one of the 50 Best Private Elementary Schools in the country.

We prepare and motivate students to thrive and make positive differences in a constantly-changing, global world. A rigorous, well-rounded, and integrated curriculum encourages and celebrates academic achievement and a love for learning. Teachers challenge every student by matching high academic expectations with individual learning potential.

Focus is placed on the collective physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual development of students.

We celebrate and encourage intellectual ability, creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, health and wellness, character development, and community service by instilling the habits of success in every student. Cultivating a school environment that encourages acceptance, appreciation, respect, and understanding for all citizens of our school and global community is key. As part of this process, students are given many opportunities to share their ideas and academic achievements through public speaking at weekly school community meetings.

The years through eighth grade are fundamental and foundational. Highlands endeavors to celebrate the joy of the journey from infancy to adolescence as a time for developing skills and character. 

We look forward to partnering with you throughout the admissions process! Thank you for sharing your family with us, 
Kelly Allen, Director of Enrollment Management
