In today’s climate, our diversity statement is more important than ever — It is a commitment to fostering inclusion, equity, and respect in a world where these values are increasingly challenged. The staff and the board worked together to revise this important statement in 2020, and we stand by it today to reinforce our shared responsibility to create spaces where every voice is heard and individuals feel validated and empowered to thrive as who they are.

The morning work cycle from Childrens House to Middle School.

One of the benefits of having mixed age classes is that the more experienced students are able to share what they have learned while reinforcing their own learning. Here Nico helps Willow unzip and take off her coat.

Where are they now? Ezra graduated in 2024 and is now a freshman at The Putney School. We ask him how his first semester in high school was going and how he felt Hilltop had prepared him for that…”Hilltop prepared me for high school by making me practice time management skills. This has helped me stay on top of my work, contributing to a wonderful highschool experience so far. I just finished Project Week, which is akin to a spontaneous project but is bigger and takes up all the class time of two weeks. Both of my projects required lots of planning, and that was made much easier by the skills I gained at Hilltop. Heres me with one of my projects(shredding plastic).” Thank you for sharing with us Ezra!
