A forward-looking, academically rigorous college-PREP school with a soul, rolling hills preparatory school (RHP) works in partnership with parents to prepare students for lifelong success in a global 21st century using proven teaching techniques in a stimulating and supportive academic environment. As part of RHP's ongoing self-evaluation and improvement, a group of teachers, trustees and parents has approved the learning expectations for students, based on the four pillars of disciplined minds, sound character, healthy bodies, and creative spirits. Every year each faculty member focuses on at least one of the four pillars, incorporating its philosophy into that year's teaching and evaluation. These principles are not just on paper, they inspire the high quality teaching that is a hallmark of RHP.
