GET TO KNOW OUR LOWER SCHOOL
Nice to meet you! We're Flint Hill School, a JK-12 co-ed, independent school in Oakton, VA.
Our faculty and staff model innovation every day, setting new standards of excellence in education. We awaken each student’s curiosity and foster critical thinking that translates to deeper competencies and an enduring love of learning. We teach students how to learn — challenging them intellectually and nurturing their development socially, physically, and emotionally.
As students grow with Flint Hill, they gain confidence to embrace rigor and blaze their own trail at Flint Hill, in college and beyond.
The way we envision education is best explained by this short video featuring one of our Lower School teachers. We hope you enjoy it!
WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?
Interested in your child attending a school where they are inspired to approach learning in a way that is already natural to them — with curiosity? Our teachers are their guides, prepared to help children discover the right tools and strategies for them to be thinkers and problem solvers. This approach builds confidence, a passion for learning, and the foundation to solve problems throughout their lives.
Consider partnering with Flint Hill, a JK-12 school, and your student won't need to switch schools for 7th or 9th grade. Secure a spot in the early grades to experience the advantages of our comprehensive JK-12 program and avoid the waitpools of the mid-division grades.
Meet with our Lower School Admission Team to review your child's needs and options.

RIGOR VS. PRODUCTIVE STRUGGLE
Rather than focusing on teaching a grade level ahead, we focus on “teaching up,” which is that sweet spot between challenging and frustratingly hard. See what "productive struggle" looks like at Flint Hill.

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR KINDERGARTEN?
Interested in your child starting at a school where they are inspired to approach learning in a way that is already natural to them — with curiosity? Our teachers are their guides, prepared to help children discover the right tools and strategies for them to be thinkers and problem solvers. This approach builds confidence, a passion for learning, and the foundation to solve problems throughout their lives.
Secure a spot in Junior Kindergarten or Kindergarten to avoid the waitpools and the hassle of a longer application process, stressful testing, and gathering recommendation letters later in your child's life.
