Hill Learning Center offers a half-day program to students in grades 1-12 that is designed to provide highly differentiated instruction to students who have specific learning differences or attention deficit disorders. On average, 175 students from 70 different public, independent, and home schools, spend a portion of their day at Hill. This dual enrollment affords students the opportunity to receive necessary remediation in a smaller school setting, and apply the skills learned at Hill in other educational settings.
Hill strives to assist each individual in realizing his or her potential by developing strengths, remediating weaknesses, and experiencing success.
With a student-teacher ratio of 4:1, the relationship between the teacher and student encourages participation and a willingness to attempt difficult skills. The positive, success-oriented nature of the program facilitates learning, as well as improvement of self-concept and motivation.
There is an explicit focus on building age-appropriate executive function skills, and a peer advisory program strengthens peer relationships and the platform for practicing self-advocacy skills.
An experienced school counselor spends time with each student and provides emotional, behavioral, and social support.
For more than 40 years, Hill Learning Center has been committed
to supporting and empowering the 1 in 5 students with learning
differences; reaching public, private, and home school students
with powerful learning experiences; and investing in
research-based, differentiated instruction.
Today, Hill Learning Center is a recognized leader in providing
students and educators with the instruction, tools, and support
they need to succeed in school, and in life. We serve students
directly, and
engage partners and experts to develop and
scale best practices, and leverage the Hill Learning
System and educator professional development to
scale them.

I cannot say enough positive things about the Hill Center. The teachers are incredible, highly knowledgeable, and responsive. The admins are the same, many former teachers themselves. It`s a well-run school with a clear focus on the students. My child is finally learning how to learn thanks to Hill and is close to being caught up to grade level after being behind for years.

I cannot say enough about Hill Center's effectiveness for remediating my child's learning difference, dyslexia. The faculty is incredibly professional, personable, warm and caring. A community is fostered here even though it's a half-day program and children don't attend like a full day school. The children become friends across ages and grade levels on the playground. They add special touches like Halloween celebrations to give it a school feel. Everywhere we'd go in the building, all teachers knew my child and would say "hello." It is truly a place where children are known and loved. Some teachers are warmer and more nurturing than others but overall there is a nurturing approach to the class work. My child entered Hill at a 1st grade reading level and in one school year achieved a beginning fourth grade reading level. Talk about closing the gap! This child's confidence has soared.

I asked ChatGPT to list apps, YouTube Channels, and podcasts suitable for enriching the studies of students ages 10-14. (We'll look at resources for younger and older students in another article.)
