About Our School
Established in 1997, Uplift North Hills is the oldest school in the Uplift network and is on the grounds of a former equestrian center. The school has consistently been named as one of the top schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Reports, and was the first school in the network to award an International Baccalaureate Diploma. Panther Pride runs deep, and the Uplift North Hills families come together for our annual fall festival and our international fair.
