Students' intellectual vitality and overall qualities of "mind, body, and spirit" are nurtured at "The Family Boarding School," where structure and support are provided in equal measure. Founded in 1851 as “The Family Boarding School,” The Hill may be distinguished from other college preparatory schools by its commitment to sustaining an ideal “family” learning environment. Indeed, The Hill was the first school in the country to have students live with faculty in their campus home away from home. Simply put, Hill offers structure seldom found at similar schools. The order of our daily routine is visible in our neat dress code, our seated meals, and our evening study halls. At the same time, we provide personal attention and support; we nurture our students in “mind, body, and spirit” and prepare them for both independence and success in college, careers, and life.
