Hills Grammar is a Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 Independent, Non-Denominational, Co-Educational School serving the Northern suburbs and Hills District of Sydney since 1982. Set in 18ha of magnificent bushland and landscaped gardens, it features exceptional facilities designed to foster learning and a collegial atmosphere. The School was conceived as a co-educational and non denominational K-12 School with a major emphasis in the development of excellence in scholarship, citizenship and personal development. Its ethos was underpinned by a strong commitment to humanitarian values based on personal integrity and social responsibility. The founder, Mr Ross Booth, worked tirelessly to enlist support for the establishment of the School and in 1982 the Founding Council was formed. Today Hills Grammar is a vibrant K - 12 learning community which is made up of approximately 1000 students, 170 staff and over 700 families. In 2010 the Early Childhood Education Centre (ECEC) opened its doors to the youngest and newest members of the Hills family.
