Greene Hill School is an independent and progressive pre-K through 8th grade school in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn, dedicated to developing expansive learners who are open to a lifetime of self-awareness, high ambition and deep empathy. Our students benefit from small classes, and dedicated, attentive teachers who truly know and respect them. Our interdisciplinary curriculum weaves social justice into an academically challenging and rich program that emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, and is rooted in research on how kids learn best. Our students are excited and eager to learn, and nothing is surface level—neither their understanding nor their interest.
Our graduating 8th graders go on to a wide range of excellent independent, specialized, public, and boarding schools. More information about our progressive pedagogy, commitment to community building and social justice, and curriculum, can be found on our website.
Another thing that makes Greene Hill so special? We offer sliding scale tuition, open to all families at any time of application. This sets us apart from most independent schools and ensures that our school community remains economically diverse.
We continue to accept applications for the 2025-26 school year for both Lower and Middle School. Please email ad*******@**************ol.org with any questions. We’d love to hear from you! Check out our Instagram to see the Greene Hill community in action.
