Founded in 1928, Highland marks a long history of educational excellence. Our founders knew that a premier education would be active and bring together academics, the arts, and athletics. They also believed that Highland and its students should connect with the community we serve – that a real sense of responsibility to a larger cause must be ingrained in every Highland graduate. Experience is the best teacher. At Highland, we combine the best of traditional and non-traditional methods to create an active and diverse learning environment where discoveries in the classroom comes to life through hands­-on activities. Highland School is a Pre-K to Grade 12 independent school located in Warrenton, Virginia. Students grow and develop, bound only by their energy and interests. Field Studies make research real. Highly evolved experiential learning programs introduce students to the wonder and majesty of the natural world. Across all of our divisions, Highland’s courses are as much active as academic. For example, students of drama, literature, and media use digital tools to tell their own stories. Field study trips to environmental centers underscore classroom science lessons. Students of Shakespeare read plays, act out the roles and attend professional performances. Our robotics teams, which include programs for Lower, Middle and Upper School students, combine mathematics, engineering, and computer programming to solve complex problems. These teams collaborate to make their complex designs a reality. For our Upper School students, college counseling emphasizes finding the best post-­secondary “fit” for each individual. Admission counselors visit campus each fall to meet students and answer questions. Each January, young alumni return to give presentations and describe their college experiences. Beginning in Grade 9, counseling is an open discussion between parents, students, and Highland faculty and staff about making the best choices for the right reasons. Highland has embraced sophisticated digital technologies in support of art and music, foreign language and science instruction. Students gain wide­-ranging computer proficiency across platforms and disciplines. In a school that prides itself on community, we’ve all seen that computers and mobile devices are powerful tools for bringing people together. Built around a network of high­ end iMac and PC 's loaded with the latest applications, Highland’s computer labs, available to all students, inspire the academic mind and feed the creative spirit. In our Upper School, Highland offers 15 Honors courses in a range of subjects and 16 Advanced Placement classes. More than 75% of our seniors take advantage of these course offerings every year. Recent college acceptances include the most prestigious schools in Virginia, as well as Columbia University, Duke University, Stanford University, Yale University and others. In our dedicated Learning Center, educational specialists deliver a range of support services to Pre-K through Grade 12. The center is available to students in need of extra attention, advocacy, remediation, and individualized instruction.

Highland Academy is a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school offering quality education to grades 9-12 in a rural setting about 40 minutes north of Nashville. Its forerunner was the Fountain Head Rural School which was established on this property in 1907. Until 1945, it was operated as a self-supporting institution, a school and a hospital.

Highland Elementary is operated by the Highland SDA Church and offers grades K-8. The mission of Highland Academy is to develop Christ-like characters and lifelong learners. In the context of the SDA church and writings of Ellen G. White, education is viewed as an essential element in renewing that right relationship with God, and must focus on development of the whole person. Through proper development of the spiritual, intellectual, occupational, social, and physical dimensions, the individual is better equipped for a life of service to mankind. Within this philosophical framework, the student development goals are as follows: Spiritual – To create a safe, nurturing community of learning in which students are exposed to concepts that foster a relationship with God. The goal is for each student to have a “personal encounter with the Lord” as part of their Highland Academy experience. Intellectual – To facilitate student mastery of the core curriculum while developing the cognitive skills of critical thinking, reflective judgment, effective communication, and integration of creative solutions to problem-solving. Occupational – To assist students in developing a work ethic and to attain excellence in skill-based competencies. This prepares the student to enter the workforce by providing experience and a tangible skill set. Social – To provide students opportunities to continue to grow socio-emotional maturity that will enable them to form Christ-centered friendships and make wise future relationship decisions. Physical – To encourage students to take responsibility for their well-being through a balanced lifestyle while developing a healthier mind and body to serve God and others.

When students enter our classrooms, they meet energetic educators who are passionate about what they teach and focus on developing each student's most significant potential. Our classes are small - providing the optimal setting for students to be encouraged and inspired. Students learn to question, create, challenge, analyze, and speak and write critically at Lake Highland Prep. They love learning, and each day we watch them reach for excellence, seek discoveries, shine on the stage, and thrive in athletics. We not only prepare our students for success in college and beyond, but we also teach them to be compassionate leaders who make ethical decisions. Within an atmosphere of love, concern, and mutual respect, Lake Highland Preparatory School, is committed to instilling Christian values, inspiring patriotism, developing leaders, and preparing students for college and lifelong learning through academically challenging programs and affirming competitive experiences. Our student body comprises many different faiths, and we welcome families of all religions to Lake Highland Preparatory School. We sincerely believe each student is a unique child of God, and every child can thrive in an atmosphere of love, concern, and mutual respect. At LHPS, we teach nine tenets of Christianity, which we believe are widely accepted values by people of many faiths. They are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul refers to these attributes as the Fruit of the Spirit. We include these ideals in our daily instruction as a significant component of instilling Christian values in our students, which is the first pillar of our mission statement. To create a culture where students respect and understand different religions, our teachers and staff strive to personify the nine attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit. When we see students display these attributes through their actions, we recognize them and award them with a select button to tell others about their actions. Weaving the Spirit's Fruit into our culture helps us cultivate our students' character and develop them as compassionate, empathetic, and courageous leaders. Each day, Lake Highland's campus is animated by the energy and excitement of learning. Our unique academic program stimulates and challenges all learners here. Our students' academic foundation is established as they acquire knowledge and skills. That foundation is extended in dynamic classrooms where they learn to inquire, explore, discover, observe, and collaborate. Lake Highland's dedicated faculty members carefully plan and lead the rigorous and flexible curriculum for Pre-K through 12th-grade students. Our unique academic continuum spans 14 years, and it offers an exciting array of college preparatory opportunities. Our students grow and develop their love of learning as they acquire confidence in their abilities and skills and develop strategies for success in college and life. The technology industry has matured in many exciting ways bringing to our lives efficiencies and capabilities that not too long ago were only dreams. The delivery of educational experiences and resources is also rapidly changing as new technologies integrate and intersect in myriad ways in schools, colleges, and industry. To optimize the overall development of cloud-based technologies and other advanced educational delivery methods, beginning in the fall of 2018, Upper School students will use laptops daily in their classes for the most contemporary, relevant learning. Complex research, collaborative projects, entrepreneurial efforts, and advanced production rely on efficient and robust learning tools. Specialized classes and student passions such as robotics, video production, academic and problem-solving competition, computer science, and more are also supported at Lake Highland with emerging technologies. Our team of Technology Integration Specialists, forward-thinking teachers, and our Technology Department support and guide our technology application and vision. In pursuit of an exceptional learning experience that prepares our students for their future, our teachers deliberately choose classroom strategies that incorporate the most relevant and efficient technology resources. It is an exciting and creative time to teach! View full school

Highland is a democratic international boarding and day school founded in 1981. It operates using a similar democratic structure to Sudbury Valley School and other Sudbury Schools. Learning occurs through daily social interactions and self-directed experiences. Children develop personal responsibility through the process of making their own decisions. Students' rights are fundamental at The Highland School. These rights are described and protected by our School Constitution. Highland's "Bill of Rights" can be found after our Constitution. By valuing individual rights, the community at Highland creates a safe place for all school members. Each child, no matter how small, has the same rights as other children and adults. Students choose what they will learn or what projects they will pursue. Staff members are available to provide support or help with resources if needed. Individual activities are wide-ranging. For example, activities may include unstructured play, preparing for a driver's test, or reading a book. Members often organize voluntary meetings to plan group activities. Special interest groups plan everything from trips to creating the school newsletter. Each school member, student, and staff have a vote in the decision-making process. All meetings, events, activities, and field trips are discussed and voted upon at General School Meetings. Proposed rule changes, community issues, and personal projects are also handled at the General School Meetings. Transitioning into independence is a much less daunting task for Highland graduates who have spent their entire lives learning, planning, deciding, and pursuing their interests, goals, and passions. Participating in daily life at Highland is hard work, but the long term skills students develop help them succeed throughout their lives. Each child is unique and intrinsically valuable. We believe a democratic community, where children are equal, and their rights are protected, is the best environment for children to learn and grow. Each school member has an equal vote in the decision-making process. The daily interactions of school members make up the school's heart as we solve problems, create activities, and live our lives together. Individual responsibility for decisions is at the core of our school life. In addition to making meaningful choices about their lives, children can pursue their interests in as much depth as they desire. They also have a wide range of opportunities in which to participate, including ongoing interest groups and activities and governing the school. We believe that students will learn to take responsibility for their decisions. Being willing to make mistakes and learn from them is critical to intellectual growth. In our democracy, students have the opportunity to develop the self-confidence to find out what they need to know, even if they are exploring a previously unknown area. They gain the self-discipline to persevere in following through on personal and social commitments. Learning is a continuous lifelong process. Children are born curious - ready to learn and explore. Children from the earliest age reach out and interact with the social and physical environment. As they grow, children pursue their interests and develop strategies for learning. Through self-directed activities, they reflect and learn from their interactions. Most learning takes place informally through sharing with others of various ages, watching someone more skilled at an activity, or experimenting with new interests and experiencing the consequences. Time and trust are necessary elements in the learning process. Time is needed for us to reflect upon our experiences and choose ways to deepen our interests. School members can pursue their interests for as much time as they desire. Students explore and discover their interests, talents, and passions by choosing what they do each day. The trust of our community supports students in making their own decisions. Learning to be responsible, make intelligent choices, and make sense of our world takes commitment from students and other school members. View full school
