Rolling Hills Preparatory School works in partnership with parents to prepare college-bound students for lifelong success in a global 21st century using proven teaching techniques in a stimulating and supportive academic environment.
We employ four pillars to define success: Disciplined Minds, Sound Character, Healthy Bodies, and Creative Spirits
In 1994 RHP adopted the Four Pillars as the guiding principles for its educational philosophy:
As part of RHP's ongoing self-evaluation and improvement, a group of teachers, trustees and parents has approved the learning expectations for students shown below, based on the Four Pillars. 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.
- Become aware of, and appreciate, the relevance of the learning process to life.
- Learn to probe and investigate, think logically and critically, synthesize ideas, and solve problems
- Communicate effectively in writing, verbally, and graphically.

- Make interdisciplinary connections.
- Demonstrate self-motivation and self-discipline. Become independent, confident problem-solvers who are enthusiastic and willing to take risks.
