Pembroke Hill School – Middle and Upper Schools
Our Mission
Together, cultivating the best in each, for the benefit of all
About
Our upper school is a vibrant, dynamic and exciting environment in which students grow to young adulthood. Upper school students experience an academically challenging curriculum in which they are encouraged and supported by some of the finest teachers in the region. Pembroke Hill faculty members know their students individually and care about their educational journeys.
Pembroke Hill fosters a school culture in which students are encouraged to be leaders and to share their opinions. They are empowered to help make decisions concerning the upper school and its programs. Students exhibit an awareness of issues affecting our community, our nation and our world and have the confidence and skills to manage events that are designed to help resolve these issues. In recent years some of those events have included concerts, 5K runs and letter-writing programs.
Pembroke Hill offers Advanced Placement courses in all disciplines, and approximately 90 percent of our graduates have taken at least one AP course. Eighty-five percent of our AP scores are 3 or higher on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best). Most colleges will give students credit for scores of 3 or higher.

Patricia Mutiso, 7th grade parent
I have two children at PHS, Derrick who joined in the 8th grade and has just graduated; and Gabriel who joined in 5th grade and will be in 7th grade in the fall. We learnt about PHS from a parent at the school. We were drawn to it by the challenging curriculum, the highly educated teaching staff, the extracurricular activities; and vibrant school community.
The faculty and school administration have been outstanding. One of the motto’s at PHS is “Pembroke Hill is a place where every child is known, cared for and valued.” I am amazed to see that each morning I drop the boys off the principals of each campus are waiting, opening car doors and greeting each child by name. The school also has small class sizes and interactive learning environment.
There are various buildings for different courses, theaters for music and art, gyms, and fields for football, lacrosse, soccer and tennis. The campuses are truly beautiful, and the different buildings simulate a true college campus environment.
One of the things I truly value about PHS is the parent involvement in the school. There are many volunteer opportunities, from being in the various school boards, committees, parent class representatives, working concession stands when there are sports games; among others.
In my view PHS is the best school in this area and I highly recommend it to any parents seeking a well-rounded quality education for their children.
