History
Foothills School of Arts and Sciences was founded in 1992 by Susan and John Medlin. It was the first non-sectarian independent school in Boise. Initially housed at the Boise Unitarian Fellowship, the school expanded to use all its available space by its third year of operation with K–6 students. It relocated to an 8th St. location in 1995 and then to its current 9th St. location in 2019.[1] In 1998, a preschool program was added, funded in part by a grant from the J. A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation.[2] The school added a ninth grade in the 2009–2010 school year.[3]
The school is an accredited member of the Northwest Association of Independent Schools[4] and Cognia.[5]
