Hitherfield is an Independent School for children from JK to Grade 8. The school is located on 82 pristine acres 15 minutes from downtown Milton. Our school is a happy place for children to learn and grow, and we warmly invite you to visit us! We believe that when children are happy, engaged, and challenged, that optimum learning will take place. At Hitherfield every child is unique and comes to us with his or her own strengths and interests. By individualizing our program in Math and Language particularly, we nurture growth, success and confidence in our students. Developing confidence, decision-making and respect are key components of our Mission Statement and daily life at the school. Students and teachers alike are able to develop the confidence necessary for them to be successful in today's rapidly changing world. Our academic programs are rigorous and include Mathematics, Language, Science, Social Science, Technology, French, Visual Arts, Drama, Music and Physical Education. Students from Grades 5 to Grade 8 sit exams twice each year in preparation for High School and beyond. Our traditional based and forward-thinking approach in teaching and learning provides an experience where individual strengths can flourish, and challenges can be accommodated and meet with success in today's rapidly changing world. Experience the difference today and see what sets us apart.
