About Us

Mill Hill School opened its doors as a new school in September 1991 after a 10-year closure. There are currently about 400 students enrolled in grades K-5. We are fortunate to have a beautiful facility including dedicated rooms for our art and music instructional programs. Mill Hill is committed to utilizing technology and we have an up-to-date Media Center, which includes a full lab for student use and a fully networked building with mobile laptop carts. In addition, our core curriculum is aligned with the Common Core State Standards with a major emphasis placed on the development of students as critical thinkers and problem solvers. Along with an experienced staff open to innovation and collaboration, we have a dedicated and supportive parent community and PTA. Through programs like Above and Beyond, Fairfield Arts for Youth, High Tech/High Touch, and the Mill River Lab, students go beyond traditional requirements to pursue and extend their learning. Each year we review the achievement of our students and develop a school improvement plan to address areas of concern.
