School Notes

  • At Hill Top Preparatory School, we believe that neurodiverse students-those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or learning differences-can thrive when given the right environment.
  • We offer more than a college-prep education, we provide a place where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to succeed; not in spite of who they are, but because of it.
Typical Hill Top Student ProfileHill Top Preparatory School is designed for bright, neurodiverse students in grades 512 and post-secondary programs who face academic, social, or emotional challenges in traditional learning environments.Our students often have diagnoses such as:
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD, Level 1)
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Anxiety and Mood Disorders
  • Specific Learning Disabilities (e.g., Dyslexia)
  • Executive Functioning Challenges
  • Sensory Processing Differences
Hill Top students are intellectually capable, curious, and eager to succeed-but they may require a more personalized environment to develop their confidence, independence, and sense of belonging.

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.
