You'll have the opportunity to see our student-centered classrooms and learn how our programs are fostered in our mission to cultivate students to thrive, lead, and serve in a diverse and dynamic world.

Learn about our divisional-specific programming, including project approach and responsive classroom in our Lower School, growth mindset and executive functioning skills in Middle School, as well as certificate programs and honors/AP offerings in the Upper School.

Step into our spaces that make Highland unique, including our Outdoor Classroom in our Lower School, engaging Science Labs in our Middle School, and The Rice Theater, a state-of-the-art theater in our Upper School.
