The Hillsboro School

Our kiddo has blossomed here - so happy to have found Hillsboro!

The Hillsboro School is so much more than a facility or curriculum. To us, it's a family of supportive and understanding educators that truly care about our child and finding the best ways for him to enjoy learning and exploring the world. In our first year they have already changed the way we look at education and community, in the most wonderful ways.

My preschooler had such an amazing experience at the Hillsboro school. From the first moment he walked in the door he was greeted by warm, gentle, friendly teachers. They guided him through the room and made him feel comfortable and at home. The environment of the school is one of calm and the atmosphere is peaceful. Just how a school should be! The Hillsboro school is also thoroughly equipped with a wide variety of learning tools that are creative and outside the box of normal learning methods. The children are given independence to explore and learn on their own but also with gentle one on one guidance from the teacher when needed. My child often talks about the Hillsboro school and wants to go back and each day when he was there he didn’t want to leave. The staff, vision, and educational methods are a cut above the rest.

Our journey with The Hillsboro School was a gift. I recognized the enthusiasm of the director but had no way of knowing the magnitude of our decision to enroll our kids. I thought it was a good fit just because they would allow the kids to work at advanced levels in those subjects where they excelled and would make sure they didn’t fall behind in those subjects where they did not excel. We got so much more. Our kids were sponges for the hands-on methods. They were encouraged to ask “why” and pursue where it went. They were given the confidence to think for themselves. The teachers worked with the kids, understood their learning styles and gave them personalized tools (organizational as well as processing) to help them focus on what is important. Because of those efforts that you just can’t find anywhere else, my kids can answer a question clearly, explain their opinions and defend their positions easily. I am grateful to The Hillsboro School!

We started out with our son in Hillsboro School and are happy to have both our daughter enrolled as well. The smaller class sizes allow the teachers to work with each of the children, delivering the material in a way that's based on the child. The interaction with other children of varying ages I believe has helped our children grow, and the feeling of community within the school helps us feel at home at Hillsboro.

The teachers at the Hillsboro School are truly exceptional with outstanding educational credentials. The low student-to-teacher ratio means that my son's learning plan is custom-tailored to his individual needs. He can progress in his learning at the speed that is best for him. He is having truly creative learning opportunities including designing and building robots to participating in extended field trips at historic locations.
