We are so happy your family is joining our community. The early childhood and elementary years are fun, fascinating, and friendly! We are excited to partner with you as we guide your child through these important years of social-emotional, academic, and personal development. We are charting a course for the future!

The Preschool and Lower School is a joyful place where our students establish the foundation that will prepare them for their learning journey throughout their time at Greenhill.

Over the summer, we will be building important connections between students, families, and teachers. Our hope is that when your student arrives on campus full-time in August, they will see familiar faces and Greenhill will quickly feel like home.

Please watch for important communication from our Parents' Association, Greenhill, and the Preschool & Lower School over the summer.

Welcome! We can’t wait for the next school year to begin!

Technology

At Greenhill, we have a 1:1 device program for students in prekindergarten through twelfth grade. Prekindergarten through second grade have access to classroom iPads. Third and fourth grade use laptops, which remain in the classroom. Because we want to ensure the devices our students use support learning in the classroom, the cost of classroom technology is incorporated into tuition.
