Principal’s Welcome
This is no ordinary school. Speak to anyone who walks through the gates of Hillside International Kindergarten, or indeed one of the thousands of young people who have benefited from our world-class since our formation in 1999 and they will tell you just that. It is a place where students find their passions, ignite their interests and learn how they can make a difference to their own life and the lives of others, their community and their planet.

What We Stand For
The first steps are often the most important. This is especially true when it comes to your child’s education. We are committed to helping our students develop their curiosity, understand how to build relationships and, above all, to find a love of learning.

The history of a school is not marked in the number of years it has been in existence, rather its place in time is recorded through the number of students who receive their education there. Hillside International Kindergarten was formed in 1999 and since that time thousands of students have walked through the school gates to receive the education that set them up for success in their life.
