Hillcrest is a progressive, standards-driven school with a proactive approach that prepares all of our students to meet the N.Y.S. Standards and Regents Diploma Requirement. At Hillcrest, you will find a commitment to excellence, innovative instructional approaches, a diverse student body and educational community, along with an active and supportive parent body, who are focused on building the skills of our students to embrace high standards.
The Hillcrest Theatre Institute is a four year program for high school students who wish to study the many aspects of the performing arts. We believe that the classroom and our fully equipped stage is only one place to learn the art and craft of acting. Students study acting, scenery design and construction, script writing, directing and choreography, vocal music and make-up/costume design. Our students are encouraged to go to professional auditions, to seek out agent representation and to get involved with community theatre. Students have the opportunity to see Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, work with and learn from professional actors and writers, and attend workshops in Manhattan and Queens.
