“Hillsdale schools do not make technology the focus,” said Kathleen O’Toole, Hillsdale College’s associate vice president for K-12 education. Hillsdale member schools are private or charter; Hillsdale assists them in the founding process, and the college trains their staff and trustees. If Hillsdale approves a school’s application to the curriculum school program, they provide a free license to use the Hillsdale curriculum. Curriculum schools do not receive the same support as member schools, but are allowed to use the full Hillsdale K-12 curriculum. The next Hillsdale-supported schools opening in Idaho are the North Idaho and Valor classical academies, members of the American Classical Schools of Idaho.
