Sussex County’s only independent school, Hilltop Country Day School.


Welcome from the Headmaster

Welcome to the Hilltop Country Day Website.
 
A Hilltop education provides its graduates with sound learning foundations in the academics, the arts and 21st century skills.  Opportunities are numerous and varied as students develop a true sense of confidence in oneself, a strong sense of responsibility and a real sense of what it means to be a person. Across the curriculum, skills required to think critically, solve problems and know how to work both independently and collaboratively in a group are cultivated as each Hilltop student discovers how they learn best.
 
Hilltop Country Day School is a wonderful and exciting place to learn.  The school’s work with children age 2 through Grade 8 is set in a unique environment for learning. We understand that children learn most effectively in an environment that is academically challenging, emotionally safe and socially warm.
 
The heart of our school is our faculty.  Our teachers bring experience, knowledge of child development, and expertise in their areas of specialty to every interaction with our students. Hilltop respects individual differences and values our partnership with families.  Together our teachers, professional staff, parents, alumnae and friends play an integral role in the Hilltop education experience and together help establish a strong sense of community and shared endeavor.
 
Please enjoy our website. We invite you to come and observe daily life at Hilltop Country Day.  Let us know your interests and your hopes and we will schedule a visit to assist you with any information you need for the choices you are considering.
 
I look forward to meeting you and am personally available to discuss any questions you may have.
 
Each Student, Every Day
