Guiding Principles
Our Motto
“Head, hands and heart, passion and potential”
“Head, hands and heart, finding Your Future and Inspiring the World”
Educational Philosophy
"Learning by head, hand and heart."
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, known as the Father of Modern Education, once said "Education is a development of humanity and it is harmony and development of body and mind that defines humanity."
Hillside Collegiate will expand on educational opportunities via the stages of understanding through critical thinking (head), experiencing through a variety of senses (hand), and learning through emotional expression (heart). Through this, we will raise our children to be individuals with harmonious personality and balanced development of knowledge, body, and emotion.
