How Families Can Apply to Hill Top Preparatory School

Updated

Hill Top Preparatory School is accepting applications, including mid-year enrollment, for neurodiverse students in grades 5–12 and its post-secondary program. To begin, visit the admissions section of hilltopprep.org and submit an application; families who want to learn more first can attend an admissions open house, which the school describes as a way for families and professionals to discover the school.

Who the School Serves

Hill Top Prep is a co-ed day school on the Main Line in Bryn Mawr, PA, for bright and creative students who struggle with academic or social success due to performance-based learning differences such as ADHD, autism, specific learning disabilities, or anxiety. Beyond the day school, the school also offers a Boys Boarding Program, The Neurodiversity Success Center, and a Summer Camp.

The academic program is a college-prep curriculum designed specifically for neurodiverse students, with social-emotional learning integrated throughout. The school lists Middle School, High School, a Post-Secondary Program, and Employability & Transition among its offerings, so applicants should identify which program fits their student before applying.

Steps to Get Started

  1. Check the admissions page. The site's admissions area is the starting point for application details and the current enrollment message ("Now Accepting Mid-Year Enrollment").
  2. Attend an open house if you're still deciding. The school promotes its Admissions Open Houses to families and professionals as a way to learn about the program before committing.
  3. Submit the application. The homepage's "Apply today to become part of the Hill Top community!" link leads to the application entry point.
  4. Stay connected during the process. Hill Top offers text-message updates for its community; families can opt in through the "Stay Connected w/ Hill Top—Now via Text" announcement on the site.

Practical Notes

  • Mid-year entry is open now, so families don't need to wait for a fall start.
  • Open houses serve both families and professionals, meaning referring clinicians or educators can attend alongside parents.
  • The site's calendar lists campus events such as college visits and the National Honor Society induction, which can give prospective families a sense of day-to-day school life.
  • Pricing, tuition, and financial aid details are not provided in the available site information, so those questions should go directly to the admissions office.

For specific application requirements, deadlines, and any tuition questions, contact Hill Top Prep's admissions team through the school website rather than relying on general descriptions.
