Academics
Overview
Mission Minded
We exist to provide supportive educational services in a safe and student-centered environment for bright, motivated students who learn differently. We accomplish this by fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect among students and staff, while strengthening each student’s self-esteem and leading them toward their maximum potential. We promote the success of our students not only in the classroom, but beyond by equipping them with the skills and confidence to take their talents to the world around them.
In The Classroom
Walking through the hallways of Hill School you will see the appearance of a traditional learning environment: student artwork on display, lockers slamming between classes, and squeaking shoes in the gym.
Step inside a classroom and you will see the Hill School difference: low student-to-teacher ratios, intentional faculty, and students actively engaged in their lessons.
Quality Programming
An integrated self-discipline program, with an emphasis on building healthy self-esteem, permeates our school’s academic programming. With our accreditation through AdvancED/Cognia the Hill School curriculum provides quality, reputable programming in all academic areas with a consideration of specific student needs in Reading, English, Written Expression, and Mathematics.
Technology Focused
