"I observe that every child demonstrates a comprehensive curiosity. Children are interested in everything and are forever embarrassing their specialized parents by the wholeness of their interests. Children demonstrate right from the beginning that their genes are organized to help them to apprehend, comprehend, coordinate, and employ—in all directions."
- Buckminster Fuller

We are in an exciting and important time in the life of Upland Hills School. We are growing as a community in ways that are new and in ways that honor and uphold our past.
