in every kid since 1968.
Imagine a school wholeheartedly dedicated to creating a learning experience around the unique needs and passions of each student. That’s Greenhills.

By Mark Randolph, English Department Teacher. Perhaps the most meaningful award a teacher can receive is to be recognized by their student. At least that is my opinion. Strictly speaking this might be more of a reward, but given the paucity of anything approaching a public or professional honor for teachers, I will take what I can get and call it what I will. So, when my former student, good friend, and best editor that I know, Adam Plunkett (Class of 2005), called me up and invited me to share the stage with him for his book talk at Literati celebrating the release of his much-heralded critical biography of Robert Frost entitled Love and Need, I was bowled over.
Summers-Knoll School to Become Greenhills Lower School Greenhills School is broadening its independent educational mission to serve younger students, adding pre-kindergarten through 5th grade to its current 6th- through 12th-grade program.

When Matteo Takami Todisco ’13 entered Brown University, he was convinced he would follow in his parents’ footsteps and become the fourth generation of his family to study medicine.

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%.

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.
