Hillsboro School

Nestled on 30 acres in Helena, AL, The Hillsboro School offers decidedly different learning opportunities for our students to help them in the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of their lives. Individual progress, personal relevance, and real-world experiences are at the heart of our Montessori philosophy. We believe,

“education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.” - Dr. Maria Montessori

At Hillsboro, our mission is to design an environment that empowers our students to become the people they are meant to become. We prepare our students for fulfilling and purposeful lives. Because we want them to strive for excellence in everything they do, we emphasize healthy habits academically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and physically.

We are delighted to welcome you to The Hillsboro School! We want to thank you for coming to our Facebook page and learning more about us. We are excited to offer a school based on how children learn! As you think about where you want your child to go to school, I want to encourage you to consider three questions:
How are children learning?
How are children treated?
How do students see the adults in their community engaging?
Where children go to school affects
how they view learning and themselves,
how they relate to others, and
how they define what it means to live in a community.
The school you choose for your child will make a difference in who they become. We believe children should receive a strong experiential, inquiry based education, be treated with respect, and see daily models of teachers and parents working together to create the best possible school for children.
