JK-12 centers in the world dedicated to social impact education, and the Hub, a state-of-the-art,
student-focused makerspace on our Los Gatos Campus dedicated to design, science, art, and
engineering. We are deeply committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, justice and action, knowing
that the best schools and strongest academic programs are also intentionally diverse

Core Values: Be Kind, Be Curious, Take Risks, and Be Your Best. Hillbrook is an extraordinary
