About Us
Team Saturday Junior (grades 2-5, ages 7-10) at The Hill School is an enrichment program for area students. Each session includes three core activities – art, cooking, and sports – with special days for activities like Tae Kwon Do and horseback riding.
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, ages 11-18). In Team Saturday Senior, the emphasis continues on providing a fun, safe and predictable environment where students can enjoy longer class times with an added focus on self-esteem issues, conflict resolution and leadership development.
