Residential Life

The Boarding Program at Hillside

Hillside's boarding program provides a stable and warm community for boys who reside on campus. Living at Hillside offers students a wealth of opportunities for learning tolerance, responsibility, and cooperation.

Most faculty members and administrators live on campus. Their ready availability forms a neighborhood where adults - skilled in interacting with young boys, and in tune with the students' interested and concerns - are a consistently nurturing and watchful presence.
