The Hillside School

The Hillside School is the leading independent day school in the Lehigh Valley that is dedicated to educating children who have been diagnosed with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Our small class size (8:1 ratio) allows teachers to focus on the individual, academic, personal, and social success of elementary and middle school students in grades K-8 who benefit from a structured, supportive, and multi-sensory learning environment. A collaboration of professional staff, knowledgeable and experienced teachers, caring parents, and energetic students make The Hillside School an ideal place for learning. Our students typically struggle to learn in a traditional school environment. They have average to above-average cognitive ability, yet display weaknesses in one or more of the following areas: Reading, writing, spelling, and math Executive functions Receptive and expressive language Visual and auditory processing disorders ADD/ADHD
