About Hillside School and Learning Center
Established in 1971 by Robert E. Dannenhold as a non-profit educational support facility for students with learning disabilities, Hillside has evolved into an interactive, participatory learning experience that identifies and amplifies the capabilities of each student and makes students aware of their ability to succeed.
We offer a wide range of services, all woven into a comprehensive, coordinated, and highly effective whole:
• DAY SCHOOL, NIGHT AND SUMMER SCHOOLS
• ACTIVE PARENTAL COMMUNITY
• INTERACTIVE, COMMUNICATIVE ATMOSPHERE
• EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE AND ASSESSMENTS
• SPECIAL PROGRAMS & CLASSES
The proof of our success is the success of our students. Many have attended some of the country’s finest colleges. Others have enjoyed success at a wide range of business endeavors. The younger students in our after school and summer programs return to their classrooms better organized, more confident, and with greatly enhanced skills that help them excel.
MEET OUR STAFF. THEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY

PROGRAM DETAILS
In addition to the traditional day school setting, The Hillside School and Learning Center also offers programs that help students learn around the clock. Additionally, we specialize in special programs – aimed at encouraging and inspiring our studetnts to succeed.
Night School – Hillside’s night school offers classes that provide academic courses needed by students at public and private schools who have conflicting work obligations, sports activities, or who wish to take an elective that’s offered at the same time as a required academic course. These classes, while small in size, tend to be structured more like a college course and students should be self-motivated.
Summer School – During the summer, Hillside offers students in grades 9-12 opportunities similar to those offered by our night and day school. A one-year is taught, intensively, over a six week time period. The keys to student success in this program are small class size and highly individualized attention. Students are required to do substantial homework in order to cover the material and pass the class.
Educational Therapy – A program for all ages. Educational therapy helps students grasp the underlying learning skills and discover the learning stragegy and application of skills that works best for them. Grades improve, and students gain the self-confidence needed to be successful. This one-on-one, twice weekly program is truly “learning for success.”
Assessments – ducational testing or assessing a student’s academic processing skills is one way to create a roadmap for optimizing learning strategies and setting attainable goals. Testing gives parents and teachers insight into how the student processes information, which helps in the selection of teaching strategies. This assessment is given by an educational psychologist. Fees vary depending on the extent of the evaluation.
Special Courses and Programs – Hillside School and Learning
Center offers a variety of special programs and services that enrich
the educational experience of students by strengthening skills
and boosting confidence and self-esteem.

Hillside Day School – page content
Hillside Day School
Hillside School is a traditional academic program for students in 7th-12th grade. We offer core subjects and electives. Our day school is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and licensed by the California State Department of Education.
Many students attend Hillside on a full time basis. Others are dual-enrolled with local public and private schools. We have a great deal of experience crafting such dual-enrollment programs.
Hillside School operates on a 10 month schedule. The school day begins at 7:50 a.m. and ends at 2:35 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Admission is by interview with parents, application, and a half-day visit by the student. A conference is held to determine the fit of the child with the structure of the program. Hillside School has extensive knowledge and skill in assisting students with learning disabilities, but we are not equipped to handle severe behavioral or emotional disorders.
