==History==
The Hill School was founded in 1851 by the Rev. Matthew Meigs as the Family Boarding School for Boys and Young Men. The School opened on May 1, 1851, enrolling 25 boys for the first year. The Family Boarding School was the first of its kind in America. According to Paul Chancellor’s ''The History of The Hill School: 1851-1976'', “He () wanted to stress that he was not founding still another academy, but a type of school quite new and rare in America. There is a tendency to think that the boys’ boarding school as we know it existed as long as there have been private schools. It has not. Most of the 12 to 15 schools generally considered the “core” group were established in the last half of the nineteenth century. Of this whole group of schools, The Hill was the first to be founded as a family boarding school."〔''The History of the Hill School:1851-1976'', Paul Chancellor. The Hill School: Pottstown, Pennsylvania, 1976〕 Upholding The Family Boarding School tradition are the approximately 30 percent of today's Hill students who have a legacy connection.〔 Today's student body includes young women who were first admitted to The Hill in 1998.
