The Roslyn Hilltop Academy provides the high school student with a non-traditional, alternative environment which maximizes their personal strengths while focusing on their individual learning styles. Through the use of an innovative curriculum developed and implemented by a nurturing staff, the Hilltop Academy’s task is to instill in every student a passion for knowledge and create life-long learners. The Academy encourages responsible, independent thinking, recognizes diversity and respects the individual needs of students. 

Our mission is accomplished by:

• Providing a high teacher-to-student ratio in small classroom settings.

• Motivating the disenfranchised student who has difficulty succeeding in a traditional high school.

• Creating an environment that meets the individual social, emotional and academic needs of students.

• Developing a strong collaboration among staff, students and parents.

• Using curriculum and instructional methods that are relevant to the students, complement their life experiences and build on their strengths.

• Offering programs and support services that refine and enhance both academic and personal development.
