Visit Campus

The best way to get to know Highland is to visit campus

You can read about a school. You can scroll through photos. But nothing compares to coming inside and hearing a classroom buzz with discussion, watching students greet teachers by name, and sensing, almost instantly, whether a place fits your child.

That's what a visit to Highland gives you. Come see our campus located in the heart of Warrenton, whether you're exploring options for a two-year-old or a rising senior. Walk the halls, meet the people, and picture your child right here in the middle of it.

Two ways to experience our campus

Every family explores differently. Some love the energy of a group event. Others want a quiet, personal look. We offer Open House events throughout the year or private tours at your convenience. Either one is a great place to start.
