Dean of Students

Welcome to Happy Hill Farm Academy, where for over 35 years we have been growing children into successful adults. Our program is founded on the belief that for growth to occur, seeds must be planted and subjected to the conditions conducive to growth. Happy Hill Farm Academy provides students a place to live and study that is rich in academic, learning, and extracurricular opportunities. From Advanced Placement classes to opportunities to participate in choir, Youth and Government, 4-H shows, and a variety of sports, Happy Hill Farm Academy seeks to help each student find their personal niche. Teachers and staff seek to teach Biblical principles, nurture personal growth, and build character through every aspect of the program. Located on a beautiful 500 acre campus, Happy Hill Farm Academy provides students a sense of safety and security, knowing that they are largely protected from many of society’s evils. However, they also experience freedom…freedom to explore new interests, create new dreams, and become who God created them to be. Unlike other private boarding schools which cater solely to affluent families, Happy Hill Farm Academy’s student population is extremely diverse both culturally and socio-economically, allowing both residential and day students in grades K-12 the opportunity to gain a broad perspective on life, which will prove invaluable as they go forth into the global marketplace.

Although opportunities abound at Happy Hill Farm Academy, the success of students ultimately depends on the goals they set for themselves, and the desire, effort, and fortitude that they are willing to exert to reach those goals. It is our privilege to partner with students and parents from all walks of life to plant the necessary seeds, nurture growth, and celebrate the bountiful harvest of success. What an opportunity and blessing!

Warm Regards,
Julie Griffin, Ph.D.
