The Hill Center was established in 1977 as the Hill Learning Development Center to provide an intensive remediation program to students with specific learning disabilities or attention deficit disorders. Begun as an adjunct to the existing programs at Durham Academy, the Center was dedicated to founder George Watts Hill in 1980 and became an integral part of Durham Academy. In 1996, it was renamed The Hill Center. In 1998 The Hill Center became an affiliate of Durham Academy with its own 12 member Board of Trustees. With a separate 501-(C)(3) status, The Hill Center is considered to be a tax exempt nonprofit organization. Since its inception, The Hill Center has served over 6,000 students, successfully partnering with more than 70 public and private schools throughout the Research Triangle community. Teacher training programs have been attended by more than 7,000 teachers from public and independent schools from across the country. In addition, The Hill Center has also consulted with national and international schools on its programs. The chief purpose of The Hill Center is to provide students who have been diagnosed as having specific learning disabilities and/or attention deficit disorder the opportunity to achieve at a level commensurate with their intellectual abilities through a 4:1 student/teacher ratio. In addition, The Hill Center's program is designed to develop a positive self-concept in these students through successful experiences and foster an understanding of their individual styles of learning, to prepare these students to be independent learners in a regular classroom setting and to assist them in setting realistic goals. The average student gains full benefits of Hill within three years and typically transitions back to their home school full-time. Over 90% of Hill's high school graduates go on to college, compared to 68% nationally who graduate from high school. In addition to providing academic remediation and assisting parents in planning for their children's individual needs, The Hill Center is concerned with developing an awareness and understanding of learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders by providing information both locally and at the national level. The Hill Center offers information, consultation, and workshops to agencies, schools, and individuals interested in instructional methods or general information about learning disabilities and/or attention deficit disorders.The Hill Center Address
