Learning is an active experience where students work at an individualized pace toward objectives they have helped define. For classes, students are divided into groups of 8 to 10, based on age and performance level. Within these small groups, language-based instruction is the heart of an integrated curriculum designed to foster new interests and build necessary study skills. Assignments are tailored to each student's learning style, as are examinations. Students are encouraged to develop new strategies.
Expectations are high.
In addition, and equally important, students must demonstrate a level of integrity and responsibility within the community, including participation in the drama activities, the Social Service module, school service, and extended Project Feat expeditions. Location and Facilities Founded in 1970, Willow Hill is located on a 26-acre campus approximately 20 miles west of Boston. An 18th century farmhouse houses the business and admissions offices, the library, tutoring rooms, and a small art studio. The main classroom building was completed in 1978. Willow Hill's small size is its strength, which enables us to focus on the needs of the individual for academic and personal growth while building community values.
