The fear, confusion and anger that came with our son's learning disability diagnosis 11 years ago…read morehas shifted to acceptance and pride and joy. We enrolled our son at The Hillside School in second grade. He was there for three years then re-enrolled in seventh grade to help pilot the middle school program. The strategies he was taught in reading and writing along with skills in meta-cognition and self-advocacy have successfully supported him through high school and he will graduate in June. He was recently re-evaluated by our local school district in preparation for college admission. While he will always have a learning difference, he has tested out of needing specially designed instruction and hence an IEP. The faculty and staff at The Hillside School have consistently guided us with compassion and respect. Our investment in our son's education in his elementary and middle school years has been worth the time, effort and money put forth. My gratitude for Hillside is deep and wide. We celebrate our son's strengths every day and look forward to a bright future.

Then you pay their expensive $100 application fee and later told that they can't accept your child. Their application process is such a scam and a total waste of time! I would not recommend! Think about it, for every $100 application fee, how much are they pocketing just to reject students without providing even a partial refund? We pay bills out here! So taking advantage of parents who are on a desperate search to find the best school for their special needs student is unacceptable!

Somehow they have kept their prices unbelievably low for decades with the intention that anyone and everyone can participate in transforming themselves and creating a life that they truly love to live. It has been a vehicle for me to continuously evolve myself no matter what circumstances, good or bad, I have been dealing with - from romantic relationships to breakdowns at work to having impactful conversations with my family. Landmark has made a difference that no other amount of information from any source has made. It's hard to do the Landmark Forum justice in writing, but trust me (and the 2.5+ million people around the world who have taken it) that it will make a profound, lasting impact in the way you live your life. The organization relies heavily on the people who assist, making up a huge percentage of the transformational work "behind the scenes". Everyone who assists does so of their own volition, having received incredible value and only wanting to contribute it back to those who come after them. I have participated in Philadelphia, Washington DC and Chicago for many years and will continue doing so as long as I can!

I am extremely grateful work like this exists in the world.

Throughout the school year, our young learners ages 2-5 are engaged in a variety of activities that are designed to help them grow socially, emotionally, creatively, and academically. Goshen’s experienced teachers honor each child’s individual spirit, helping them to grow independently while teaching them the value of friendship and teamwork. Year-round, students learn and play both inside and outside. A robust holistic and experiential curriculum in all classrooms includes thematic, play-based lessons that nurture pre-reading, pre-writing, pre-math, and pre-science skills. All students enjoy “specials” classes in art, music, and Spanish, as well as an outdoor education class that takes advantage of the school’s 10-acre campus with nature-based activities like story walks, treasure hunts, gardening and yoga. The curriculum engages the youngest students in preschool through the oldest students in pre-kindergarten with opportunities for hands-on learning that spark children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn. Goshen Friends School offer preschool and pre-kindergarten classes for children ages 2.7-5 years. Additional programs include lunch bunch / extended day (after care), a popular summer camp, and By My Side, a gentle introduction to preschool for toddlers and their grownups (often referred to as a Mommy and Me).
