Hillside Traditional Academy
Hillside Traditional Academy is a school of choice. In
choosing to join the Traditional Academy, we expect that students,
parents and staff members be prepared to support the school philosophy and
structures positively. Each traditional school is unique and
particular to its community; however, there are commonalities defined by their
greater emphasis on the following: traditional values, educational structure
and parent involvement.
As a school staff, we are dedicated to providing the best possible learning
environment for your child. Hillside Traditional Academy will:
Encourage and expect all students to achieve their fullest potential in a
structured environment where skills and concepts are presented in a consistent
and sequential manner

individual achievement as high standards and expectations are reinforced both at
home and at school

students, ensuring a safe, respectful school environment

Edwin S. Richards Arts-Based Curriculum School
Edwin S. Richards Elementary School is
a designated Arts-Based Curriculum school of choice (September 2013). Its vision is to move its
students to a place where creativity, collaboration, leadership, and thinking
skills go hand in hand to provide active, positive, and effective learning
experiences. Classroom teachers, while not having fine arts degrees, are
actively pursuing innovative ways in which students can demonstrate their
understanding with and through the arts. Professional discussions, staff
collaboration, as well as partnerships with artists in residence and parents, have provided the keys necessary to unlock the door for the school’s
continuing arts journey. While the process of using the fine arts to provide
rich learning experiences for its students is paramount, the school celebrates with its community each spring through a presentation of its arts learning.
