THE HILLSIDE SCHOOL OFFERS THREE PROGRAMS:
- Summer Academy (Post-Kindergarten – Grade 6)
- Study Skills Program (Grades 6 – 8 )
- Summer Skills Review Program (Entering Grades 1-6)
SUMMER ACADEMY
The goal of our Summer Academy (9:00 A.M. – 3:30 P.M.) is to build on what students have learned during the school year. Students review reading, writing, and math skills both in small group and individual settings. Computer technology is used to enrich both language arts and math skills. Learning strategies are presented, modeled and practiced. The recreational program in the afternoon focuses on listening skills, following directions, peer interactions and the development of social skills. Additional computer instruction is offered the second week. The activities include keyboarding and instruction in assistive technology to improve writing skills.
STUDY SKILLS PROGRAM
The Study Skills Program (9:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M.) is aimed at helping students learn new academic strategies and strengthen their language arts skills. Organizational skills are emphasized and practiced daily during this two-week period. Students create a Strategy Stack, a compilation of strategies written on index cards. This Strategy Stack has proven to be a valuable resource for these students.
SUMMER SKILLS REVIEW PROGRAM
The Summer Skills Review Program is aimed at helping students review, reinforce, and enrich skills they have learned during the school year. Four one-week sessions are offered in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, social skills, and fitness.
