The Hill School of Wilmington offers a unique half-day intensive remediation for students in grades 1-8 with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia) and/or attention deficit disorder.
Our mission is to empower children who have learning differences with the skills needed to become confident, independent learners.
The Hill School of Wilmington's program is Orton Gillingham-based and is modeled after one of the southeast's oldest and largest schools for students with learning disabilities, The Hill Learning Center in Durham, NC.
With a proven track record of success for students with language-based learning differences, the school also strives to empower their students by developing their understanding of how they learn.
Our program uses research-based multisensory structured
language methodology. During the academic year, students attend
Hill for 3 hours and attend a base school for the remainder of the
school day. We also offer a 5-week summer program as well as
community outreach and tutoring programs. Our most important goal
is to improve reading, writing, and math skills of struggling
learners. In addition, we offer workshops for parents and
educators. Our tutoring services in reading, writing, and math as
well as executive functioning coaching, and keyboarding continue to
be well received.
Most adults find traveling more complicated and challenging that it was pre-pandemic. We offer some suggestions for safe teen travel in these uncertain times.
One of the basic differences between private and public schools is the fact that most public school teachers belong to a union. Should teachers be unionized?
