Concepts Greenhill has a strong academic orientation, and its primary objective is to generate true excitement in learning for each student. Its approach to education is based upon the firm conviction that intellectual curiosity, self-discipline and intemal motivation are fundamental to the learning process.

At present, Greenhill is struggling with a problem which is felt by many to be a profound challenge: how to reconcile the ivory tower of educa- tion with everyday experience in society. It is argued on the one hand that the purpose of education is to cultivate the intellect and that the acquisition of experience should be left to life. Another school of thought, however, holds that an education in which learning and social application, ideas and practice, work and recognition .of the meaning of what is done are united from the beginning is the only worthwhile type of education.
