Twenty-five years of growing curious children
A family-founded school in Karen with a simple belief: children learn best when they feel known.
From a few classrooms to a campus
Greenfield opened in 1996 with forty children, two teachers and a borrowed field. The founders, a teacher and an engineer, wanted a school where no child could disappear in the crowd.
Today there are around 900 children from 3 to 18, but the idea has not changed. Classes stay small, teachers know every name, and parents are partners rather than visitors.
Our values
Every child known
Small classes and a form tutor who follows your child for the year.
Rigour with kindness
