How has Flint Hill helped your child(ren) realize what is possible and blaze a trail?
At Flint Hill there is a strong, supportive, and collaborative environment. My kids are all very different and their teachers have always found ways to connect with and challenge them to be their best and to take meaningful risks. They are all sincerely happy at school and feel safe taking risks whether it’s a new subject, sport, or a fine art. Flint Hill’s core values coupled with second-to-none educators, resources and facilities have been the right environment for my kids to thrive both personally and academically. I know with certainty that the faculty and administration know my four children and are there to support them in whatever educational paths they choose. As a parent, that’s all I can hope for.
