Today, Hillside stands as Boulder County’s first Center for Dyslexia. Alongside our specialized instruction, we provide Learning Evaluations, Professional Development for Educators, Parent and Community Programs, and Student Support Services—each designed to strengthen the ecosystem around every student.
Hillside envisions a future where every child with dyslexia is given the tools to succeed, the confidence to thrive, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the world.
To unlock the potential of dyslexic students through specialized instruction and championing awareness and change through community and professional engagement.
“Dyslexia affects up to 1 in 5 people, but the experience of dyslexia isn’t always the same. This difficulty in processing language exists along a spectrum — one that doesn’t necessarily fit with labels like “normal” and “defective.” Kelli Sandman-Hurley urges us to think again about dyslexic brain function and to celebrate the neurodiversity of the human brain.”
Our Vision
Hillside School is a leader in the development of innovative teaching strategies for students with learning differences and serves as a community resource about education and the well-being of children.
