About Hillbrook School:
For almost 90 years, Hillbrook School has been a junior kindergarten-8th grade independent school located on 14 acres of oak woodland in Los Gatos, CA - and in the fall of 2023, we opened the doors to the founding class of our high school. Founded in 1935, the school remains deeply connected to its historical roots as a place where children are known, learning is authentic and active, and success is measured one child at a time. Over the years, we have grown and evolved from a small boarding school serving wards of the state to one of the leading independent schools in the Bay Area, and yet our vision remains the same-to inspire children to achieve their dreams and reach beyond themselves to make a difference in the world.
We are now embarking on one of the school's most ambitious strategic initiatives ever: the expansion to a JK-12 with the addition of a new high school in downtown San Jose. We are driven by a foundational belief - that our 8th graders and other students deserve an extraordinary educational experience in high school that builds upon the exceptional foundation we provide our JK-8 students. The core differentiators for our current program - the placement of choice and engagement at the center of the learning experience, integrated, real world education that challenges students to reach beyond and make a difference, and a deep commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion - will translate seamlessly into a 9-12 environment, allowing us to extend our innovative approach into a market in need of a new model of secondary school education.
