Middle School
In Hill’s Middle School, students in grades 6-8 attend daily reading, writing, and math classes in a 4:1 student-faculty ratio.
Students receive explicit, individualized lessons – balancing any need for foundational skills, such as decoding, spelling, and fluency, through instruction in Hill’s methodology with direct instruction designed to strengthen middle school-level skills in the three core areas.
Executive function skills are directly taught and incorporated into classes to help students learn skills, such as how to take notes, prepare for tests, create short- and long-term plans, and employ self-advocacy.
Hill Middle School students also strengthen financial literacy skills through the MoneyWorks program and participate in activities such as quarterly clubs, social-emotional programming, and community service projects.

Meet Connor Blelloch
When Hill teachers told him he would soar to new heights someday, he took it literally.
An aspiring commercial pilot at the highly-competitive Embry-Riddle Aeronautical School in Daytona Beach, Connor recalls his parents explaining that attending Hill would help him with his dyslexia and to develop his reading and executive functioning skills. He also remembers the kindness of his teachers as he began sixth grade in a setting that was vastly different from other schools he had attended.
