We are committed to evaluating and accepting new ideas, creating a climate of respect, and developing responsible citizens. Our school is comprised of students from kindergarten through eighth grade, including a middle school program for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. Special Education services, English as a Second Language, and Basic Skills instruction are available as needed for students. Hillside Avenue School accepts and respects each student as an individual of worth and dignity, celebrates differences and encourages creativity and freedom of expression. Parents have joined with teacher and administrators to form a school -based planning committee to share in the decision making that affects our children.
Teachers are vitally concerned with the academic and social development of students.
Staff members continually seek professional development opportunities in order to hone their skills in the art of teaching. The Hillside Avenue School is a community of learners devoted to academic excellence and the quest for life-skills, creative thinking, and respect for self and others.
