Hill Top Preparatory School

Hill Top Preparatory School is an accredited, nonprofit private college-preparatory school located at 737 South Ithan Avenue in Rosemont, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1971 by Elissa Fisher, the school has become the Main Line leader in educating neurodiverse students in grades 5-12 and post-secondary programs. Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and accredited by both PAIS and Middle States, Hill Top serves students with diverse learning profiles, including those with ADHD, ADD, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, anxiety, and epilepsy.

The school's educational approach centers on college preparation combined with robust support for students' social-emotional and executive function development. Hill Top employs experienced educators, counselors, and mentors who work collaboratively to address each student's academic, social, and developmental needs. The school maintains a deliberately small student body of approximately 72 students to ensure personalized attention and individualized programming.

Beyond its core day school program, Hill Top operates specialized offerings including a Neurodiversity Success Center that provides PEERS® Social Skills training, executive function coaching, and post-secondary transition support to both Hill Top students and outside young adults. The school also offers a postgraduate program and a boarding program for boys in grades 9-12, extending its reach to students requiring more intensive residential support.

Hill Top's commitment to neurodiverse learners reflects a student-centered philosophy that recognizes learning differences as individual strengths. The school's integrated approach combines rigorous academics with mental health support, life skills development, and peer mentoring to prepare students for college and independent adulthood.
