K-8th
Our renowned K-8 program is transformative for our students’ intellectual, emotional, and personal journeys.
Educating the whole child
At HTS, we understand the K-8 years are pivotal for students’ growth in academics, confidence, and character. Our dynamic classrooms and hands-on projects—like coding with MIT App Inventor or growing their own garden—make learning exciting and enjoyable.
Our WASC-accredited program provides a balanced education that nurtures academic excellence, emotional resilience, and personal development. Our dedicated teachers make learning engaging and interactive, fostering both creativity and intellectual curiosity.
We prepare students for high school and beyond, equipping them with strong academic skills and the character to build meaningful relationships. In a world where challenges like bullying and record loneliness are prevalent, our holistic approach lays a strong foundation for a bright future.
We are grateful that HTS provided an academically excellent, safe, fun, and inspirational environment for our girls from preschool through 8th and 6th grade.
One of my daughters is finishing her senior year at the University of San Francisco and the other daughter is entering senior year at Hillsdale High School. Both of them are thriving academically and socially.
An individualized approach to education
At HTS, we prioritize getting to know each student personally while they master their common core-aligned curriculum. Our small class sizes allow teachers to give individual attention to each student and foster their intellectual, emotional, and personal growth. Through ongoing collaboration and dialogue among teachers, we tailor our approach to the unique strengths and interests each student brings to the class.
My HTS experience has helped me a ton in my friendships and social skills. I’ve learned how to talk to people from completely different backgrounds and upbringings. I’ve learned how to learn, not only for myself, but also how to help other people learn as well.
