Carlthorp Alumni Named Fulbright Scholars
When parents choose an elementary school, they are investing in a foundation for life.
The extraordinary paths of Zane Grenoble ’13 and Hayden Hill ’14 — both recently named prestigious Fulbright Scholars — demonstrate where a Carlthorp education can lead.
As part of the U.S. government’s flagship international exchange program, these two Carlthorp graduates earned the opportunity to represent the United States abroad:
- Zane (UPenn, Huntsman Program) joined the Binational Business cohort in Mexico City, pursuing advanced international business studies.
- Hayden (Oberlin College) served as an English teaching assistant in Bulgaria, fostering global cross-cultural connection.
For Hayden, the drive to make an impact globally traces directly back to her early childhood years at Carlthorp.
“Although it has been years since I last recited the Code of Conduct,” she shares, “the themes of kindness, self-improvement, respect, and responsibility have stuck with me and have served as a compass as I have navigated through secondary school, college, and beyond.”
At Carlthorp, we cultivate ethical leaders, global thinkers, and lifelong learners. Zane and Hayden’s accomplishments are a testament to how Carlthorp’s focus on academic excellence and values-based culture set students up to thrive at top universities and on the world stage.
Established in 1939, Carlthorp School is the oldest independent coeducational day school for grades K-6 located in Santa Monica, California.
