In 1982, Hillsides Education Center (HEC) was established to meet the needs of children who required a special educational environment in which to flourish. Some of Hillsides' residents are able to attend public school; however, the majority need individualized attention to address both emotional disturbances and learning disabilities. The Center also accepts students outside Hillsides who have similar emotional and educational needs.

Each classroom accommodates up to 12 students supervised by a special education teacher and three teaching assistants. Lessons parallel mainstream programs to help students prepare to return to public school. In addition to obtaining a solid academic background, students have access to psychological counseling as well as music, art, speech therapy and other specialized support through HEC or by referral.
