Parent Testimonials
“Hilldale School provides the nurturing yet academically challenging environment we seek for our children. The before and after school program is ideal for working parents, while the academics excel compared to what our public schools provide.”
“We have been involved with the Hilldale School since 1994, when our first son was welcomed to an exciting Kindergarten class where learning was fun. Although he was shy, he felt safe and nurtured there, and was soon part of a diverse group of friends led by a caring and dynamic teacher. He could hardly wait to get to school each morning! He also loved the vibrant after school program, where he learned to swim, to make rockets, and so many other things. He graduated from the school with very strong academic skills, confidence in his own creativity, a sense of community awareness, and empathy for others. Since then, we have sent another child to Hilldale, and we are still convinced that it is one of the best small schools in the Bay Area. The academic program has continued to evolve and remains challenging, while classes in art, music and Spanish add important dimensions. Our child loves the after school program, which offers such a wide variety of workshops that it is not possible to be bored!”
