Primary/secondary Education - London, England, United Kingdom
Leading UK & Swiss International Junior School located in the hearts of Knightsbridge and Glion.‘A child's mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.'Hill House is the oldest London school in which every aspect of the daily administration of the school remains in the care and control of the founding family. It is a school that enables children from all over the world to have the opportunity to follow an English curriculum while learning that every nation is equal but different and that peaceful co-existence comes from mutual respect, understanding and consideration for others from diverse backgrounds.Hill House was founded in Switzerland in 1949 moving to La Tour-de-Peilz in 1951 when the building in Hans Place, London was also opened. The guiding vision was that the modern child must be educated for a world community. He or she must be taught to understand that all nations depend on one another; learn to live with children of other nationalities; respect that which is unknown and often very foreign to them, and thus open the doors to belong to a world which each day becomes smaller. Hill House became the first school to teach in two different countries at the same time with the same children.Hill House has always had an annex in Switzerland. The purpose built house in Glion, 2,500 feet above Lac Léman, hosts specialist courses throughout the year for selected pupils from London, providing experience of a boarding school environment in the setting of a mountain village in the French speaking canton of Vaud.To assist the proprietors in the governance of the school they are supported by a Senior Advisory Group, drawn from a range of backgrounds, that meet regularly throughout the year.
