We believe every student can succeed. Our teachers look beyond learning difference labels to address the student’s individual needs, building confidence through authentic learning and building upon each student’s skill set. Small classes allow for very targeted and personalized instruction.

Teachers at Hill School strive to create the most positive learning environment possible. Teachers fortify a student’s strengths and develop a plan for supporting weaknesses. They teach to each student’s learning style, which evolves as the student develops and masters new skills over time. Our students work hard to make improvements; they’re encouraged to persevere and learn from their mistakes. Gaining control of the learning process and understanding their own learning styles provide a powerful foundation for future success. This understanding increases self-esteem, self-confidence, and social skills.
