About Hillside School

Hillside School provides a structured, supportive and challenging academic environment for boys in grades 4 - 9 as well as a new lower school that will serve co-ed day students in grades (K-3). Our boarding and day students enjoy an engaging, multi-sensory, boys centric curriculum along with 16 competitive athletic offerings. Hillside’s unique academic and leadership program, "Shades of Blue," builds character while holding students accountable to the school’s core values. Our purposely small population of 145 boys is diverse representing many countries and states. Academic classes average 10 students, easily allowing teaching faculty to meet the individual needs of each students learning profile and differentiate instruction when necessary. Hillside consistently graduates confident, responsible leaders who are well equipped to navigate the secondary school world. Our alumni know how to self-advocate having gained a keen awareness of what will help them thrive academically, athletically, artistically, and socially. Matriculation includes but is not limited to St. Mark’s, Middlesex, Avon, Tabor, St. George’s, Pomfret, Concord Academy, Kent, Lawrence Academy, Loomis Chaffee, Exeter, Nobles, etc.

What Makes Us Unique

Hillside offers several tutorials and can support students with ADHD, executive function difficulties, dyslexia, and other language based learning differences. Innovation Lab - students have access to 3D printers and a laser cutter. They learn coding, program robots, and design apps! Hillside is now officially the only junior boarding school that is an authorized IB World School offering the Middle Years Programme (MYP)! As we move forward, this means deepening our commitment to inquiry-based teaching, concept-driven learning, and meaningful assessment practices across all subject areas.
