MORNING CLASSES

Enrollment in morning classes is determined by student mastery of concepts rather than by grade level.

Math

Topics, in order of presentation: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus, and Calculus.

Language – Word Roots

English vocabulary studies based on Latin and Greek roots prepare students for college entrance exams. This class provides a strong basis in English grammar, spelling and word transference in preparation for high school foreign language studies. It also develops the ability to distinguish between abstract themes and concrete proofs in a weekly reading and writing program.

Language – French or Spanish

Courses include beginning through advanced levels. All classes are taught speaking only in the foreign language. Pronunciation is emphasized throughout all levels. Courses increase in complexity from basic verbal skills to reading, writing, and more complex conversation.

Physical Education/Health

Includes four periods a week of supervised, non-competitive physical activity. Hillside Student Community offers a fencing club after school as a competitive sport open to the broader community.

Creative Dramatics

Students meet once a week to explore dramatic improvisations. Through these explorations, students learn how to handle emotions within the context of relationships and ethical issues.
