We see the 0.1%
that makes you, well,
YOU.
And we do our very best to draw it out daily. On average, any two people have 99.9% identical DNA. That means what makes you you is what comes from that remaining 0.1%. At Greenhills, we've crafted our entire 6th- through 12th-grade experience (and our approach to teaching) to unleash the full power of that 0.1%. So you can go out into the world — uniquely and confidently you. A one-of-a-kind work of art with the ability to do anything you set your very distinctive brain to.
YOUR STUDENT EXPERIENCE
CREATING MORE TOGETHER
Creating More Together is Greenhills School’s capital campaign to expand the physical heart of our school by creating more space for the arts, engineering and robotics, and togetherness itself. It’s an ambitious building project that includes:
- A dining room expansion that will serve as both a communal gathering and performance space.
- A significant increase in fine arts space, including a new art gallery.
- A dedicated, state-of-the-art space for robotics and design engineering.
