Read what parents are saying about HillSprings AcademyI can't say enough about the amazing school that HillSprings academy son attended for the last two years and it literally changed our lives. He was frustrated with his regular school and falling behind however HillSprings academy was able to inspire and encourage him to learn the way he learns and succeed. They work specifically with each student regarding their needs and capabilities pushing them just enough to not overwhelm them. The teachers and director go out of their way to advocate for each student including attending IEP and 504 meetings to speak on the child's behalf. My son was nervous about starting a new school, however he quickly realized that he thrived in this environment with teachers that understood him and how he learned. He also enjoyed being with other students who struggled in similar ways to him. The school was quick to address any bullying or social emotional issues, and it was excellent and keeping in contact with parents. I can't say enough about this school and our family would say it was worth every penny!
Posted by a parent on 7/12/2017The HillSprings Learning Center is a wonderful school. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to help the children not only learn, but gain confidence in who they are. You know you chose a great school when your child comes home with a smile because they can read by themselves or multiply "just like the other kids".
Posted by a parent on 6/2/2013We have two children currently attending the HillSprings Learning Center and are thrilled with the experience. In their previous public school, both boys were frustrated and felt misunderstood and un-teachable. At HillSprings they are getting the help that they need, from caring professionals, and are returning to their confident, fun selves. This is a school that is designed to help children with learning differences and has a wonderful track record with students and in the community. Their techniques are based on scientifically proven effective methods and they have highly trained and qualified staff and a fabulous director. The school is dedicated to providing resources both through the private school and the community. The Hill Method is unique in that it allows teachers to individualize instruction for each child, even with 4 in the classroom. Students progress through the program as fast as they can and as slow as they need. I highly recommend this school for students with learning differences. It is a life-saver!
Posted by a parent on 3/20/2012My first trip to HillSprings Learning Center was to observe a student who attends there but is also enrolled in an elementary school in the district for which I work as a school psychologist. I observe many classrooms but had never seen a more impressive teaching methodology and curriculum for youngsters with learning disabilities. The student I was observing was working well and later went on to successfully return to public school, full time. My curiosity and admiration led me to find out more about HillSprings and to volunteer many hours to support this non-profit, private school. Not only has HillSprings continued to provide this quality instruction to students enrolled in their half-day program but has reached out to the community, training teachers and working with students in public schools, summer programs, and after-school programs. Hillsprings is truly dedicated to developing a student's academic achievement and individual confidence as a learner.
Posted by a community member on 9/19/2011Not only does Hillsprings do an outstanding job helping the students at their educational center succeed, they have an outreach program which trains public school educators in the Hillsprings methodology. Bringing this direct instruction program into public schools has has helped bring about dramatic increases in student achievement. The Hillsprings vision is to impact the academic lives of as many children as possible. Thus helping them find success in every facet of their lives. They are an integral part of the educational community here in Colorado Springs.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have serious concerns about the administration at this school. We have repeatedly voiced concerns about safety and how they handle bullying and violence, and have been ignored. We do not feel like our children are safe at this school, and we do not feel like they have been supported or cared for by the administration. We have been very pleased with the teachers, but they also receive no support. We will be leaving this school next year.Parent Review2mo ago - High Plains Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a military family we move around quite a bit, in fact, this is the fourth school my daughter has attend in her five years of schooling! I have never, ever met such a dedicated staff. My kids came in slightly below average in a few subject areas and they have excelled thanks to the strategies the teachers have implemented. Their desire to work with students one-on-one or in small groups based on their needs has made all the difference. The staff is also patient and caring. They went out of their way to make our children feel cared for when my husband was deployed. The staff also puts in extra time to do fun days and activities to keep the kids engaged and welcome families on to campus. My children have never once said they didn't want to go to school! As a former elementary school teacher I know that behind the scenes of those fun family days are hours of work applying for grants and putting in time beyond the school day to make everything run smoothly. Don't let the GreatSchools rating fool you, there are great strides being made here! THANK YOU HIGH PLAINS!Parent Review11mo ago - Jackson Elementary School
