What does Foothills look for when admitting new students?
A mission-appropriate student for Foothills School is someone who will be engaged in their learning and the classroom environment; respectful and kind in their interactions with students, teachers, and community members; collaborative and able to work well with others; creative and willing to take risks in their approach to learning and trying new things; motivated to work hard to meet their potential and responsible for getting their work done; and capable of handling a challenging, hands-on inquiry-based learning environment and curriculum. In making admissions decisions, Foothills considers if a student meets the school's admissions criteria as well as its interactions with parents and family members.
