At Hillcrest, we believe academic structure plays a vital role in supporting mental health recovery.

The summer is an excellent time to make up courses that weren’t passed during the school year, and we make that possible. In addition to academic recovery, our supervised education sessions include curated, non-credit enrichment options like foreign languages, typing, coding, and more.

It's not just about keeping up, it's about building confidence and re-engaging with learning in a way that supports emotional growth.
