The Pembroke Hill School is a progressive, inclusive, secular, coeducational, independent preparatory school for about 1,200 students in early years through high school, separated into four sections: early years-prekindergarten, kindergarten-5th grade, 6th-8th grade, and 9th-12th grade. It is located on two campuses in the Country Club District of Kansas City, Missouri, near the Country Club Plaza.

The Country Club District is the name of a group of neighborhoods comprising a historic upscale residential district in Kansas City, developed by noted real estate developer J.C. Nichols. The district was developed in stages between 1906 and 1950, and today is home to approximately 60,000 and includes such well-known Kansas City neighborhoods as Sunset Hill and Brookside in Missouri, Mission Hills, Fairway, and the oldest parts of Prairie Village in Kansas, making it the largest planned community built by a single developer in the United States. Ward Parkway, a wide, manicured boulevard, traverses the district running south from the Country Club Plaza, the first suburban shopping district in the United States.
