Philosophy
Our mission is to create a participatory, interactive, educational community to meet the developmental needs -- academic, physical, emotional, social, economic, and moral -- of high school students.
Teaching
Hillside provides a comprehensive instructional program to meet the demands of its students. The school offers a wide range of Advanced Placement courses and the International Baccalaureate Programme. The Science department maintains an active relationship with several Research Triangle facilities. The school is also the site for a specialized Business and Finance Academy. Students may study electronics, food service, cosmetology, and child care through the Workforce Development courses, as well as traditional business classes. Highly specialized or advanced courses which may not be available to most high school students are taught electronically through the Distance Learning Lab and the Virtual High School. The Arts Department enjoys a fine reputation, and Hillside students have performed nationally and internationally. For the most part, classes at the school follow the traditional six-period daily schedule, although a few specialized classes are on a block schedule.
Services for Academically/Intellectually Gifted Students
Academically/Intellectually Gifted students are served by having them enroll in Honors classes and Advanced Placement course or by their acceptance into the International Baccalaureate Program.
