Rooted in tradition Pursuing truth Cultivating virtue and wisdom
See what happens when you expect more.
Hillsdale Academy is a private classical Christian school owned and operated by Hillsdale College. Located in Hillsdale, Michigan, we serve over 200 students in grades K-12. The Academy accepts no federal or state funding and has broad independence in the design and implementation of its programs.
Our motto, Virtus et Sapientia (Virtue and Wisdom), encapsulates our belief that by training students in the theological, moral, intellectual, and civic virtues we are equipping them to live well-ordered lives as human beings and as citizens.
As a part of Hillsdale College, the Academy is a nonsectarian Christian institution that recognizes the central role of religious instruction in a liberal arts education. Like the college, we maintain and teach, by precept and example, the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
Hillsdale Academy School Profile Our Academic Program Portrait of a Graduate
Rather, as the centuries-old tradition of classical Christian education has understood, education is about cultivating students into a certain kind of human being. It is about training their minds and directing their souls such that they become men and women who love the right things and are characterized by virtue and wisdom. These are the goals that define a Hillsdale Academy education. We invite you to come see what happens when you expect more.
