About Willow Creek

A K–12 community school where every student is known, challenged, and supported.

Our mission

Willow Creek School educates the whole child — mind, character, and community. We pair rigorous academics with a deep commitment to the arts, athletics, and service, so that every graduate leaves ready to lead a thoughtful, purposeful life.

Our history

Founded in 1962 on a former orchard along Willow Creek, the school began with 84 students in a single building. Today we serve more than 1,200 students across our elementary, middle, and high school divisions on a 40-acre campus.

What we value

  • Relationships first — small classes and teachers who know every student.
  • High expectations with the support to meet them.
  • A well-rounded education: academics, arts, and athletics together.
  • A welcoming, inclusive community for every family.
