Hillside

My grandson is in K. I was so excited to hear him read. He is learning so much and loving it. Thanks to the teachers

We are very satisfied and grateful for SBA as a school for our kids. One of my children has special needs, and we truly appreciate how the school follows through on providing the support and care they need. We’ve seen so much improvement, which means a lot to our family. The principal is also very hands-on with the students and school activities, creating a caring and supportive environment for everyone. The teachers are amazing as well—very dedicated, patient, and genuinely caring toward the students.

Hilldale is an absolute gem. We’ve been part of the community for nearly nine years and currently have children in 8th, 6th, and 4th grade. We’re deeply grateful for how the school has supported, nurtured, and challenged each of them.The head of school is outstanding, and the teachers and staff are exceptional. We came for the academics and stayed for the school’s commitment to developing thoughtful, self-aware, and engaged citizens. Hilldale’s core habits of leadership, respect, and independent lifelong learning are woven into every aspect of the experience.The curriculum is well balanced, with strong emphasis not only on STEM, but also on humanities, arts, music, ethics, and global citizenship. Some of our favorite traditions include the Young Authors Project, the Harvest Feast, the Winter Music Concert, and the International Fair, which celebrates cultures from around the world.We’ve also appreciated how thoughtfully the school meets each child’s individual needs. One of our children received early support and accommodations for a learning difference, even before a formal diagnosis, and is now thriving alongside his peers. Another was moved ahead in a subject to ensure he was adequately challenged. Throughout, communication with us as parents has been clear and collaborative.Our oldest is sad to say goodbye after starting in kindergarten, but she leaves well prepared for the transition to high school. We can’t thank the Hilldale team enough for their dedication to our children’s growth over the years.
