School Notes
At Southern Highlands Preparatory School, our goal is to
prepare students to be academically successful, capable of
transferring their knowledge and skills to new challenges, and
confident in their ability to succeed. We offer a challenging and
well-rounded academic curriculum. We integrate subjects together so
that students can understand how they apply to everyday life, and
thus be better equipped for the challenges that lay before them. In
an active partnership with families, we strive to effectively
recognize, celebrate, and develop each student's unique talents to
the fullest extent. Academic excellence and commitment to the
global community is emphasized. Children`s educational needs change
as they grow from dependent learners in their K-5 years, where
direct instruction and repetition are essential, to independent
learners in grades 6-8, where opportunities for creative thinking
and complex problem solving assist them in the transition to high
school.

Southern Highlands is an amazing school, I went there for 3 or 4 years. I met my best friend there, even thought we don't keep in touch a lot, and she is always on my mind. I learned a lot there and with me living a few blocks away it made it convenient. their academic program is very advanced and well done. Also with them having a GATE program is amazing. My family donated a statue which is outside the last time I saw it, the Hoppers. I am Priscilla Hopper and i love your school, I hope it grows even more.
