A Breakthrough in K-3 Education
Hillside Lower School is a co-ed day program that offers a foundation for lifelong success, blending innovation, warmth, and a tradition of excellence. Our signature programs equip young learners with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Only school in the U.S. to offer these unique signature programs:
International Baccalaureate
International Baccalaureate (IB) students score higher in math and science than non-IB students. Hillside School is a candidate school* for the PYP.
Learning Support
Teachers meet students where they are to create a supportive environment where social-emotional growth is nurtured alongside academic progress, fostering confident, resilient learners.
Early Athletics
Through our athletic programs, students learn valuable life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, discipline, and resilience, while also promoting physical health and emotional well-being.
Innovation Lab
The on-site Innovation Lab (iLab) is a dedicated space for our youngest learners to build their creative and conceptual skills, which are critical in the 21st century.
Working Farm
Our on-campus farm educates children on ecology, sustainability, climate impact, while giving them the opportunity to raise small animals and grow organic fruits and vegetables.
Small Class Sizes
Individualized attention is possible as a result of our 10-12 student class size. At Hillside, every child can learn and progress at their own pace to build a strong educational foundation.

A transformative education starts here! Experience the Hillside difference firsthand at any of our in-person events, tours, or virtual open houses.
