HILLSIDE ACADEMICS

Grades 5 – 6 Overview

The intermediate curriculum supplements our strong academic core by emphasizing drama, storytelling, and art, with our experienced artists-in-residence. Studies show that young children lose touch with 90% of their creativity during their first years of school. Enhancing academics through creativity is an important goal at Hillside.

Grades 7 – 12 Overview

The school year is divided into trimesters for grades 7-12. The division between Intermediate and Secondary Levels highlights the shift towards more intensive study. While language and math are taught in traditional fifty-minute morning classes, other required courses and electives are presented in three hour afternoon “blocks” which provide immersion in the subjects.
