Hill top has been an absolute game changer for my son, he has excelled at Hill Top. The teachers truly care and assist your child with their unique way of learning. My child has autism, adhd and a learning difference. We were struggling with behavior issues in our public school setting, but not at Hill Top. My son for the first time has friends and has joined in with school clubs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
