About

Hillendale Elementary School (HES) is one of four elementary schools in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. Affectionately known as “Happy Hillendale,” we are a welcoming community that is dedicated to empowering and challenging students in a safe, caring, and inclusive environment. 

Located in the rolling hills of Chadds Ford in Chester County, Pennsylvania, HES was first converted from a museum into a school for fourth and fifth graders in 1989. Beginning in 2002, Hillendale transitioned to serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade. 

We are proud to be a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School, a federal designation recognizing schools and districts who embrace the environment.
