Once the application and transcripts have been received and reviewed, an appointment will be made for the student to spend the day at Hilltop with the students of his/her current grade level. A visitation cannot be scheduled until we have received a copy of the student's current transcripts directly from the school they are presently attending. Students applying for Grades 5-8 are required to spend two consecutive days at Hilltop. The hours for the visitation day(s) are from 8:15 a.m. until 2:55 p.m., and the student should bring a lunch, writing implements, and a notebook. Applicants for Grades 1-5 will be given a standardized reading and vocabulary test. Applicants for Grades 6-8 will complete a writing skills assessment. At some point during the school day, the student will be excused from class to meet with the Headmaster. Additional admissions testing may be conducted at the discretion of the Administration. Recommendations from an applicant's current Language Arts and Math teachers may be required as part of the admissions process.
