The Hillsdale Academy is a K-12 liberal arts school operated by Hillsdale College. Hillsdale Academy is located in Hillsdale, Michigan.[3]
The Hillsdale Academy was founded in 1990 as a model K-8 school.[3] Originally housed in mobile units with 2 grades (clusters) assigned to each building, the school tried to emulate the one-room schoolhouse education that former Hillsdale College President George Roche III experienced as a child in Colorado. The school was originally located on Barber Drive, across from the Slayton Arboretum and adjacent to the Simpson practice fields.
A new double level building was finished in 1998.[4] With the new building an Upper School was added, incorporating grades 9-12. The Upper School students have classrooms on the top floor, while Lower School students have their classrooms on the bottom floor. The school is located south-east of Hillsdale College, near the George Roche Sports Complex. The first headmaster of the K-12 Academy was Scot Hicks.
