About Us
Team Saturday at The Hill School is an enrichment program for students where they can build their confidence, self-esteem, skills, and friendships while having a lot of fun.
During the school year the program meets roughly every other Saturday at The Hill School and in the summer we have five Saturday sessions.
For all the students, Team Saturday provides a fun, safe, and predictable environment where the students can have a great time together, learn new skills, receive individualized attention, and build meaningful relationships with their classmates and teachers. In our elementary group, they have the added wonderful opportunity to work with Hill School eighth-grade mentors too!
For our younger students, sessions include art, cooking, various sports, and ample free-play time. There are also field trips and special activities throughout the year such as Tae Kwon Do, Discover Traffic Gardens STEAM workshops, gardening, and outdoor skills building activities.
Our middle school program offers students more time to work on projects together and with more autonomy. The students have a sense of independence and opportunities to develop their peer-management, leadership, and team-building skills all while creating some pretty fantastic projects for themselves and the community.
Team Saturday students who have aged up into High school may continue to participate by applying for a limited number of by-application-only teacher assistant and project leadership positions to earn volunteer hours and gain valuable experience.
Our overarching expectation for everyone at the program –students, volunteers, and staff alike: that we act with kindness and respect with one another all the time.

Team Saturday Junior offers a psychologically and physically safe environment where children in grades 2-5 have opportunities for new experiences, learning new skills through small group activities such as art, cooking, sports, and field trips. Enthusiastic teachers and Hill School 8th grade mentors provide leadership, support and individual attention.
In Team Saturday Senior, for children in grades 6-8, the emphasis continues to be on providing a safe and predictable place but with greater autonomy. Students have opportunities for new experiences and skill development though small-group learning with experienced instructors. There is an added focus on self-esteem issues, conflict resolution, and leadership development.
