About Us
Team Saturday Junior (grades 2-5) at The Hill School is an enrichment program for area students during the school year. Each session includes three core activities – art, cooking, and sports – with some special activities throughout the year.
Team Saturday provides a fun, safe, and predictable environment where the students can experience wonderful activities and learn new skills while building meaningful relationships with their peers, teachers, and Hill School eighth-grade mentors.
Students wishing to continue with the program after grade 5 attend Team Saturday Senior (grades 6-12) and can focus on either art or sports throughout the year and enjoy special outings.
