About
As a church sponsored organization, the Hillside Arts Academy seeks to provide an atmosphere that reflects the beliefs and values of the Christian faith. It is a requirement for those employed by the Academy to profess a Christian faith. Each private music lesson, class and/or musical rehearsal will have a Faith-Based component through a curriculum all instructors will be required to facilitate.
