"Hillside has been a wonderful experience for our son... Our son has learned independence, personal responsibility, and leadership. He has made friends from around the country and around the world. The structured experience has helped him grow as a student academically as well. As he put it 'I finally have learned how to learn'... Hillside has been a great next step for him as a student, an athlete and a man."
