A SCHOOL FOR THE WORLD

Project Overview

The current education model is broken. Family friendly, children, etc. Underrepresented.
In the beginning there was a plot of land. The story of the land and how it came into being is fascinating and rich. Through many caretakers from the first Indian tribes, different settlers and lastly to the Knight Webster family, its history lays the foundation of the school. The living, breathing influence of the land and its spirit is woven through the school's history. When a group of parents wanted a different type of education for their children, one that connected the land and at that time, rural family farm life to the daily lives of their children, Upland Hills School grew out of this inspiration and longing.
