Pembroke Hill School

Our annual Wornall Campus Ice Cream Social was the perfect way to kick off the new school year! It was wonderful to see our students, families, faculty and staff together, reconnecting, catching up and enjoying some sweet treats.

What a great way to start the year — we’re excited for all that’s ahead and can’t wait to welcome our students back to class!

The countdown is on! ⏳ Brad and Candace Shelley hosted the Class of 2027 for lunch today to kick off the new school year. Let’s make this year unforgettable, Seniors!

Welcome back, faculty and staff!

Both campuses are full of energy and enthusiasm as we kick off a new school year! We’re so excited to have our faculty and staff back on campus and are looking forward to all the learning, connection and memorable moments ahead.

Welcome to Pembroke Hill!

We’re thrilled to welcome our newest faculty and staff members to campus this week for orientation! We’re so excited to have them join the Pembroke Hill family and can’t wait to see the energy, expertise and heart they'll bring to our community.

Congratulations to Preschool teacher Nate Smith, recipient of the 2026 Class of 1960 Award for Teaching Excellence at Pembroke Hill School!

Established by alumni to honor extraordinary educators who challenge, inspire and support students in ways that last a lifetime, this award recognizes a faculty member who exemplifies the very best of teaching. Selected through nominations from fellow faculty and staff, Nate was praised by colleagues for his ability to meet every child where they are, see each student as an individual, and inspire a lifelong love of learning through his fierce dedication to early childhood education and kind spirit.

The award also includes a stipend for professional development to further enrich classroom learning. Congratulations, Nate, and thank you for the incredible impact you make on our youngest learners every day!

World Cup fever has arrived at Pembroke Hill Summer Programs!

As excitement builds for today's kickoff, our students are getting into the spirit by sharpening their soccer skills, designing their own team kits and even building their own stadiums. Through creativity, teamwork and play, they're celebrating the world's biggest sporting event while learning about the global community it brings together.

We're thrilled for Kansas City to welcome visitors from around the world and can't wait to be part of the energy and excitement the World Cup will bring to our city. Let the games begin!

From Prekindergarten Bridging to Fifth Grade and Eighth Grade Graduations, the last two days have been filled with celebration, reflection and excitement for what’s ahead. Congratulations to all of our graduates on reaching these important milestones!

As we close out another incredible school year at Pembroke Hill, we wish our entire community a fun, safe and relaxing summer break. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back in the fall!
