Credits that can transfer home
Because the school is accredited, completed work can transfer back to their home campus. Ask their counselor to confirm the courses before discharge — districts still decide what they accept.
What the day here can count for at home
Gym and art therapy are already in the clinical day, and they can also count as PE and art credit.

Extra Academic Support When Your Teen Needs It
Optional tutoring is available for teens who would benefit from extra help with their schoolwork. Tutoring works alongside Advantages School coursework, helping your teen stay on track academically while they focus on their treatment.
Catch up on missed work
Many teens come to Hillside after a difficult stretch at school. Tutoring gives them the support they need to catch up at a pace that feels manageable.
Help with their current classes
Tutoring follows your teen's Advantages School coursework, so every session helps them make progress in the classes that count toward their credits.
Scheduled around treatment
Sessions are planned around therapy and the clinical day, keeping your teen's treatment program the top priority.
Our admissions team can help you decide whether tutoring is a good fit for your teen and explain how sessions are arranged. (855) 746-8378
How To Continue Schoolwork While At Hillside
To enroll in classes through Advantages School, send your teen's latest transcript or class schedule. We use them to place your teen in the right classes so they can keep working while they are here.
- Current transcriptAsk their school for a current transcript. It shows credits earned and the classes they are in now, so Advantages can put them in the right online classes when they arrive.
- Class list or scheduleSend the class list or bell schedule they use today. Include a reduced day or independent study if they have one, so they pick up the same work instead of starting over.
- IEP or 504 planIf they have an IEP or 504, send a copy. Supports stay in place in the online classes here. If they do not have one, skip this.
