Presidio Hill School

Presidio Hill School is amazing! Our daughter started at PHS in Kindergarten and is now a proud fourth grader. She absolutely loves her teachers and fellow students. It has been pure joy watching our daughter grow and thrive at PHS. She is so enthusiastic about learning and each year that enthusiasm grows. Her teachers are so supportive and their dedication to and connection with each student is truly genuine. Our daughter literally runs and skips to school each morning, and is eager to teach us what she has learned at the end of each school day.

PHS takes full advantage of having the Presidio so close to campus. I cannot overstate how amazing a resource the Presidio is as an outdoor classroom space, a place for physical activity such as PE and exploration, and just a gorgeous, natural, and vast area for the students’ well-being. Our daughter loves, loves, loves going into the Presidio throughout the week to explore, play, and learn about nature.

The teachers at all grade levels are incredible, as well as the assistants. They have an innate ability to connect with each child on a personal level, fostering a sense of belonging and security. The teachers, as well as the support staff and administrators, all handle any student disputes quickly and with kindness and understanding, focusing on resolving issues rather than using punitive measures. The teachers at PHS are so positive and caring towards the students, and make a real point to meet every child where they are at socially and emotionally. 

The school buildings are gorgeous. The art and music programs are top notch. Our daughter has enjoyed incredible after-school classes offered through PHS such as cooking, gymnastics, piano, hapkido, theater, illustration, coding, and many others.

I am incredibly impressed with how PHS prioritizes social-emotional learning. Students at PHS not only excel academically but also develop the emotional intelligence and resilience needed to navigate life's challenges. The middle school students exude a remarkable level of poise, confidence, and maturity. Year after year, all of the graduating class get admitted into one of their top choices for High School.

We feel so lucky to be a part of the PHS community. We have met so many amazing families and made so many friendships across all grade levels. Events like family picnics, all-school camping trips, fundraising soirées, festivals and performances foster a strong sense of belonging and camaraderie.

PHS is a haven of learning where children's dreams are nurtured, their potential is celebrated, and their futures are shaped with love and care. I wholeheartedly recommend this extraordinary school to any parent seeking an exceptional and comprehensive education for their child.

Presidio Hill School was such a full and wonderful experience for our daughter. The curriculum was engaging and the community warm and welcoming. She really found her voice, developed her interests and was exceptionally prepared for the intellectual rigors of an independent high school.
