About Greenfield

Our Story, Our Purpose

Six decades of transforming young lives through exceptional education, pastoral care and limitless opportunity.

A School Built on Purpose

Greenfield Academy was founded in 1962 by Dr. Eleanor Greenfield with a single, powerful conviction: that every child, regardless of background, deserves access to a world-class education that challenges, nurtures and equips them for a life of meaning and achievement.

Today, with over 1,200 students from more than 40 nationalities, we remain true to that founding vision while embracing the innovations and responsibilities of the 21st century.

Our 68 specialist teachers, 45 co-curricular programmes and state-of-the-art facilities create an environment where curiosity is rewarded, excellence is celebrated and every student discovers who they are capable of becoming.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire โ€” and at Greenfield, we have been lighting fires for over sixty years.

โ€” Dr. Eleanor Greenfield, Founder
