Flint Hill School, founded in 1956, is a private, co-educational, college preparatory school, in Oakton, Virginia, in the United States. Serving grades K–12, the school currently has 1,097 students. Flint Hill's campus is located in Fairfax County, approximately 20 miles from Washington, D.C.
Originally a summer camp in 1955, Flint Hill School was founded in 1956 by Don Niklason as Flint Hill Preparatory School, a co-educational day school with 18 students in grades K-8. Students attended classes in the Miller House, an estate home belonging to the Francis Pickens Miller Family, which now serves as the an administrative facility on campus.
In 1986, Flint Hill purchased 13 acres of property several blocks away at the corner of Chain Bridge and Jermantown Road, and the original Miller House was transported to the new campus. In 1990, a new ownership group acquired the school and reorganized it as Flint Hill School, a nonprofit educational organization. The 1990-1991 academic year began on the new campus with 65 faculty members and an enrollment of 425 students in grades K-12.
