Welcome to Indian Hills!

We are a vibrant learning community nestled in the foothills of Salt Lake City, serving approximately 470 students from preschool through sixth grade. Our dedicated team of 57 educators and support staff is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where every child can learn, grow, and succeed.

  • We have a Resident Scientist who brings hands-on, lab-based science experiences to every classroom.
  • We are a Beverley Taylor Sorenson (BTS) Visual Arts School, where students experience the joy of creative expression every week under the guidance of renowned art teachers
  • We proudly host Salt Lake City School District’s Advanced Learner Magnet Program, offering enriched academic experiences for students who thrive on challenge, creativity, and depth of learning.
  • We guide all students through our shared expectations to Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Work Hard—values that shape how we learn, work, and play together each day.

For the 2026-2027 Academic Year, we are introducing a house system. Houses are a way to intentionally connect students and staff across grade levels, building a stronger sense of belonging and community.

While the idea may bring to mind Harry Potter, house systems have long been used in schools and universities to create smaller communities within a larger school. At Indian Hills, every student and staff member belongs to a house, creating opportunities for friendships, leadership, and mentorship across grade levels; for example, 1st graders have 5th-grade buddies.

Our aim is simple: 5 Houses – 1 Community – Every Eagle Belongs!
