Marlborough Private School Adds Lower School For Young Students

MARLBOROUGH, MA — A private all-boys school in Marlborough is broadening its impact.

Hillside School, a 150-acre boarding and day school in Marlborough, has officially announced a brand new Lower School. The program, which will serve students from kindergarten through third grade, will be co-ed.

The Lower School, which is now enrolling for next fall, will offer athletics, after-school programming, small class sizes of about 10 students per class, an innovation center and learning support. After-school programming will also be built into the daily schedule.

Hillside became an official International Baccalaureate (IB) World School this year, meaning it is a learning environment that is inquiry-based and engaging, prioritizing global perspectives. The school said it is the only junior boarding school in the country to receive the distinction.

“Hillside is able to offer a multidimensional program truly unlike any other,” says Emily Kent, the head of Hillside's Lower School. “We have a proven history of educating holistically and a track record of success in fostering individualized learning. We are thrilled to now offer our resources and our expertise to younger students and cannot wait to watch a new generation of Hillside thrive.”

Students in the new Lower School will follow a consistent schedule to balance academics with social-emotional learning, according to the school's website.

If you are interested in learning more, Hillside School is hosting its Fall Open House on Nov. 2:

• Middle School (grades four through nine) - 10 to 11 a.m. at 404 Robin Hill Rd.
• Lower School (grades K through three) - 11 a.m. to noon at 204 Robin Hill Rd.
