What makes Hilltop school special for both children and their parents?
Of course, the children learn languages, mathematics, English and computers, just like at any other kindergarten. So this would obviously not be sufficient reason to send kids to Hilltop.
So, what other reasons are there?
When you first visit Hilltop, you will be impressed by the large garden surrounding the charming, old world buildings. Within these buildings, there are always lots of activities taking place, such as in the music room, from where there comes the constant sound of children singing, dancing and enjoying their classes.
This is one of the beauties of Hilltop, I think. The environment and ethos of the school, and their constant program of interesting extra-curricular activities, such as the “traditional culture”, “hat happening” and “camping” days, will encourage your child to become more sociable, talkative and cheerful.
Also, when they have such an event, all the children and teachers gather in the garden, and it is very evident that, because the teachers play such an integral role in the dancing or playing of games, the children are naturally interested in both watching and then copying.
At another camping day, the children are shown how to help teacher and each other to build their camping tent and decorate it for competition.
To conclude, I believe that Hilltop offers considerably more than most other kindergartens. By going beyond normal classroom learning, and trying to teach the children social skills, co-ordination, the good habits of concentration and caring and respect for others, I believe that the school are doing an excellent job of preparing the children properly for a full and rounded future.
Hilltop Private School was established in 1940 by a group of expatriate civil service personnel and about 6 planters who contributed to the initial funds for setting up the school. Hilltop Private School is one of Johor Bahru's premier English medium kindergartens. The kindergarten is currently operating at Jalan Hassan Alatas just on the outskirts on Johor Bahru City. This kindergarten is unique in a sense that it has always been run by the Parent Teacher Association without any single owner where everything goes back to the children - a true educational establishment where the children always come first. So why Hilltop? To find out, feel free to contact our staff or drop in during school hours.
