Hillbrook School
School Notes Overview:
Hillbrook educates, nurtures and inspires students to achieve their highest academic potential and to reach beyond themselves to social responsibility and ethical leadership. At Hillbrook, academic excellence involves reaching beyond the four walls of the classroom, beyond the linear and rote, to a rich and integrated experience. Through a challenging and differentiated curriculum, outstanding teachers prepare children to make choices that stimulate and stretch them intellectually, aesthetically, and physically. Students take on the process of their own learning to question, discover, and think independently. They build intellectual curiosity, interpersonal and critical thinking skills, technological expertise and self-confidence. Hillbrook educates a diverse and inclusive student body, respecting all members and honoring the individual character and spirit of each child. In a safe, nurturing environment, we provide an experience for children that reflects the breadth and depth within the world and prepares children for life's possibilities. ...
