An independent private school in Birmingham, Alabama
serving infants through 8th grade
Now, more than ever, we ask that you consider supporting the Highlands Fund. We know it is hard to believe, but the investment your family makes in your child’s tuition does not cover the cost of their education. Like most independent schools, we rely on the generous giving of our community to balance our budget and close the operating gap. Your gift allows us to fulfill the mission of Highlands School by providing essential funds to our operating budget.
Your gift will help us in three specific areas this year.
Our goal is to attract and enroll families who align with the mission of the school, regardless of their financial situation. We rely on our Affordable Tuition program to provide families with the best education possible at costs parents can manage.
Security has always been a top priority at Highlands School, and last year we made a significant investment to increase our safety efforts on campus.
Our School Resource Officer is Deputy Mark Eaton. He is on campus every day from 7:30AM until 3:30PM, which is when a Jefferson County Sheriff arrives to patrol the campus until the Family Center and EDP close at 6PM
The key to any great school is its faculty. In order to foster growth-minded students, it is essential we have growth-minded faculty. This is achieved through a robust professional development (PD) program geared towards the individual, grade level, and school-wide goals. We are fortunate at Highlands to be able to provide our faculty and staff the opportunity to work with the experts.
