Welcome!
People often ask, “Why Hillside?” The answer is always a loud and clear “because it is essential!” Students with dyslexia or other learning differences that impede their academic progress in a regular school setting deserve to be taught in a manner that allows them to gain the academic skills they need to become capable and confident learners. This allows them to get their hands on the “bar” of academic expectations.
Once behind in school, students experience that academic “bar” continually moving beyond their reach. Discouragement and frustration may develop as early as kindergarten. Research indicates that children who are behind in 3rd grade are likely to be behind in 9th grade. Hillside provides the instruction needed to close that skills gap and help children move into the future with competence, confidence and healthy self-esteem.
Find out if Hillside is right for your child.
Information sessions are held monthly at Hillside from 11:00 – 11:45. No RSVP necessary.
Join us to learn more about how we teach at Hillside and why we teach that way. Program Director, Jill Michaud, will walk you through a day at Hillside, including information on our approach to teaching reading, writing, and math, as well as other features that make our program unique. There will be time for questions and answers throughout the presentation and the opportunity to sign up for a meeting with Executive Director, Kathy Sherman, to discuss your own child’s individual learning needs to help determine if Hillside is an appropriate fit for your family.
