...To empower children who have learning differences with the skills needed to become confident, independent learners.

The Hill School of Wilmington offers a unique half-day academic program for students in grades 1-8 with learning disabilities and/or attention deficit disorder. Our teachers are trained in the evidence-based Hill Center methodology and our program replicates the proven success of The Hill Center (www.hillcenter.org) located in Durham, NC. Our goal is to provide instruction in grades K-12 in the future.

Our School

• Our school is modeled after one of the Southeast's oldest and largest K-12 schools for students with learning disabilities and/or attention deficit disorder.
• As an affiliate of the Hill Center, we provide an intensive remediation program, enabling students to achieve at a level corresponding to their intellectual ability. Our program is modeled after a proven track record of success for students with learning differences. Over 95% of the Hill Center's students go on to college in comparison to the 40% national average.
• Students attend the half-day school from 8:00-11:00 or 12:00-3:00 and spend the rest of their day at their base school.
• 4:1 student/faculty ratio allows close student-teacher interaction.
• Research-based multisensory structured language methodology focused on reading, written language and math. Our program is based on the Orton-Gillingham approach.
