The Hill Academy

The Hill Academy offers a college preparatory guidance program specifically designed for student-athletes in their Junior, Senior and Post-Graduate years of High School. While the students are engaged in an outstanding academic atmosphere, they are surrounded by guidance and support that focuses on exposing students to post secondary programs that they may not have the opportunity to be exposed to in a public school environment. The ultimate goal is to drive students towards post secondary education, allowing them to find an institution that fits their academic goals.

Students will be provided with constant post-secondary guidance. Guidance includes services such as tutoring and personal academic development, communication with post secondary institutions, and assistance with application processes for both admission and scholarship. The Hill Academy also provides assistance with students planning to study internationally by providing SAT preparation, NCAA Clearing House assistance, and any additional support with international application.
