Every child deserves an education that inspires a lifelong love of learning—one that nurtures curiosity, encourages independent thinking, and prepares children to be balanced, capable, and world-ready.

For over 45 years, The Hills Montessori School has nurtured children in the Adelaide Hills through rich educational programs grounded in respect, independence, and a love of learning.
