At the Hill School, we place an emphasis on community. We believe that working together as a school community strengthens every member of our school family with a sense of belonging and ownership. We are all invested in the same goals of making sure that every student, faculty member, and parent are built up for success. Our classroom communities take care of each other and are all of our neighbors too by collaborating, sharing resources and building a culture of unity.

We strive to meet each student's developmental needs with spiritual, emotional, physical, and social education. We are dedicated to giving every student the best start at life by laying down a foundation of a lifetime of learning. We advocate helping students develop personal integrity and enable them to think critically, work cooperatively, and solve problems creatively. Our curriculum and teaching methods provide experiences that enable students to make sense of what they are learning and to connect their knowledge to everyday life.
