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 John Chancellor’s The History of The Hill, “He [Meigs] 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

她的英语水平非常好，虽然是公立学校学生，但是英语输出丝毫不逊色于多年国际校的学生。根据这一特点，她规划了辩论方向的学术夏校，学习美式辩论的特点的同时，进一步提升了英语语言能力。她的英语表达能力以及辩证性思维在面试过程中給招生官留下了深刻的印象。
