2026 - 2027 Applications Now Open
At Hundred Hills School, learning is not just intentional and purposeful; it’s rooted in rhythm, relationship, and learning with joy. Every day, we guide the children toward an education where everything matters and has deep meaning. An education that is focused on more than just achievements and grows each child’s abilities while nurturing their uniqueness. We understand that children grow through distinct developmental phases, and our curriculum aligns with this natural unfolding based on a deep-rooted understanding that is backed by research.
Our curriculum proves that children can grow in harmony with themselves and the world around them while developing a strong foundation for a purpose-driven future.
Experience Hundred Hills School
The best way to get to know Hundred Hills School is to experience it firsthand. Our campus is currently under construction at 208 Dairyland Road in Buellton, CA. Our classrooms are scheduled to open for in-class instruction in January 2026. Interested families are encouraged to schedule a tour of our Preschool and Kindergarten programs, which currently meet at the SYV Botanic Garden.
“I am struck by the fact that the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think that the same is true of human beings. We do not wish to see children precocious, making great strides in their early years like sprouts, producing a soft and perishable timber, but better if they expand slowly at first, as if contending with difficulties, and so are solidified and perfected.”
— Henry David Thoreau
