Established in 1950, Hillcrest School is a small, neighborhood
school serving students in kindergarten through eighth
grades. There is a team spirit that is evident throughout
the school as teachers collaborate within, as well as across,
grade levels to provide an educational program that
challenges all students. The needs of all of our students are
met in a differentiated, articulated approach and curriculum
decisions are based on data from various District, state and
informal assessments. Hillcrest is the pulse and social center
of this Claremont Hills community. Many families walk their
children to and from campus and stay after Morning Circle
to catch up on school and community news. Afterschool
programs allow our children to remain at school to play or to
attend enrichment classes. Hidden talents and dreams are
discovered through the wide array of school offerings paid
for by the Hillcrest PTA, including music, art, technology,
ecoliteracy, Spanish and French, to name a few. Community
Service is a cornerstone in our school community, so
students at every grade level can expect to participate in
a variety of community service activities during each year
of their Hillcrest education. It is our goal that by the time a
Hillcrest student reaches the eighth grade, he/she will have
had full and varied community service experiences.
