Golden Hills School
Mission
Golden Hills School strives to be a premier Jr. Kindergarten through Eighth Grade educational community. The school's administration, staff and parents nurture and expand the potential of each student. Our values-based education develops students' intellect, creativity, and character within a small-group learning environment.
History
Golden Hills School was founded in 1992 by Mr. Brant Choate as a small "one room school house". The school quickly grew from 10 to 60 students prompting the move to a larger rented facility in the El Dorado Hills Business Park. In 1999, Mr. Choate partnered with Mrs. Mary Agatstein and set out to make Golden Hills School a premier community school. After significant effort by staff, parents and school administration, Golden Hills School moved to its present location in 2001.
Our policy of small class sizes and ability level grouping enables us to effectively teach to your child's abilities and pace. "Fast tracker" students are continuously challenged and the self confidence of those needing extra in help in certain areas is maintained.
Golden Hills School is a fully accredited, private, non-profit school, offering complete academic programs for students in Junior-Kindergarten through Eighth grade. Golden Hills School is locally managed and controlled and not part of a corporate chain. Our philosophy is that the successful education of a child requires an equal partnership between students, their parents, and the school. At Golden Hills School we are committed to nurturing and developing this partnership to ensure a superior educational experience for each of our students.
Small class sizes, student self-discipline, excellent teachers, and parental involvement are the foundations on which Golden Hills School was established. We believe in challenging each student at their ability-level, providing him or her with the opportunity to progress at his or her own pace. The environment we have created encourages motivated, self-confident and self-directed students.
Our accomplishments at Golden Hills School are many, including the fact that our students consistently rank high in standardized testing.
