Head of School

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of High Point Academy, a Kindergarten through 8th grade independent school in the Pasadena/San Gabriel Valley area. At High Point, we celebrate the joy of learning on a daily basis in a cohesive school environment where students flourish academically, emotionally, morally, physically, and socially.  

Our balanced program and our supportive community are the foundations of High Point. Academic rigor is complemented by a range of specialized enrichment opportunities, and we recognize and appreciate the strengths, challenges, and uniqueness of each student. Through a combination of traditional and innovative practices, teachers establish a high level of engagement and enthusiasm in active learning environments across the campus. Additionally, the partnership between the school and our families is a critical component in ensuring the best possible educational experience for each student. Parents, students, faculty, and staff are deeply committed to our school community. 

I am proud that the High Point experience produces impressive graduates who are not only impressive for their scholastic accomplishments but also for the excellent, well-rounded young people they are.

Welcome to High Point – it’s a joyful place!

Joey Campanella, Head of School
