When passion and impact come together, an institution becomes more than a place to work. As many of our teachers and staff will tell you, Flint Hill is a place where they are challenged and inspired, and yet it still feels like home.
At Flint Hill, we believe in redefining what educational excellence looks like. Always curious, every day, we ask questions like, “Imagine if?” and “What’s possible?” And we encourage our students to do the same.
Our teachers’ expertise and commitment to innovative teaching are complemented by a personal approach that emphasizes respect and communication.
Flint Hill understands that adolescents long to be accepted while simultaneously wanting to be their own person. We pay special attention to these crucial years of exploration and self-discovery, offering broad and deep learning opportunities that both challenge and support students. In Middle School, grades 7-8, believe there is no limit to students’ academic capacity—helping them uncover their passions and prepare them for a successful transition to high school and beyond.
With our rigorous academic program and extracurricular opportunities, Flint Hill students can do it all. We inspire our students to reach their greatest potential while maintaining balance and wellbeing. Our Upper School, grades 9-12, academic program is both challenging and supportive — allowing all students to be successful. We cultivate deep learning and encourage students to pursue all of their interests. We believe that learning led by curiosity inspires students to develop passion and purpose. Always innovating to set new standards of excellence, we don’t let resources or schedules limit our students’ experience. Our culture of support and inclusion allows students to feel welcome and connected from day one — whether they’re a lifer or transferring from another school. Preparing for college, our four full-time college counselors focus on truly getting to know students and guiding them to “right-fit” schools. Students graduate as confident self-advocates with the skills and maturity to excel in college and blaze their own trail in life.
