Rolling Hills Prep is an amazing hidden gem! I have two high schoolers who learn completely differently, and RHP has given them both a phenomenal education. The teachers are engaged and committed to teaching our kids to thrive, both in academics and with social/emotional learning. With robust theatre arts and spectacular sports programs, I couldn't have wished for a better experience for my kids high school.

My Son is a senior and has been at RHP since sophomore year, transferred from Mira Costa. He doesn't have a learning challenge, but we knew he'd benefit from being in a small school. He's learned how to advocate for himself, has found love for subjects he wasn't interested in before, has a great group of friends, plays on 4 sports teams, and has outstanding grades. Truly a blessing that we made the move a few years ago!

Rolling Hills Prep has been a game-changer for my son! This is his third year, and I couldn't be more impressed. The individualized attention, coupled with the rigorous academics and excellent sports programs, have truly helped him thrive. The staff is incredibly supportive and dedicated to his success. The parent community is incredibly welcoming and supportive, creating a sense of belonging that extends beyond the classroom. If you're looking for a school that truly cares about your child's unique needs and fosters a love of learning, I highly recommend Rolling Hills Prep.

We could not be happier at RHP. The school offers a phenomenal approach to education. All students are supported academically by teachers and staff who are engaged and experienced. Both of my children are thriving at RHP. They participate in several sports and belong to multiple clubs on campus. If you are looking for a school that values your child and encourages them to beat the best version of themselves this is your school!
