Hillside School - Boarding

Hillside provides a warm “home away from home” for

boys who live on campus either five or seven days a

week. Living at Hillside offers students a wealth of

possibilities for learning responsibility and cooperation.

Many quickly learn that whether their housemates are

from Boston or Beijing, they have much to offer each

other.

Having most faculty members and administrators living

on campus forms a neighborhood in which adults, skilled

in interacting with young boys and in tune with their

interests and concerns, are a consistent presence.
