Our Summer School Program
Our Summer School Program
Summer School at Hillside is an opportunity to complete a full year course in five weeks, with no compromise in what is learned. We achieve this with an innovative format that has proved both effective and popular. Summer school involves a commitment by both students and parents. Because of the intensive nature of the summer school course, students must be willing to spend considerable out-of-class time on homework, projects and other coursework in order to succeed. For this reason families must not schedule an overlapping vacation or other activities that would result in excessive absences.
