[3] Originally housed in mobile units with 2 grades (clusters) assigned to each building, the school tried to emulate the one-room schoolhouse education that former Hillsdale College President George Roche III experienced as a child in Colorado.

The school was originally located on Barber Drive, across from the Slayton Arboretum and adjacent to the Simpson practice fields.

The school is located south-east of Hillsdale College, near the George Roche Sports Complex.

For boys, Hillsdale offers basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, and track.

For girls, they offer basketball, cross country, golf, track, and volleyball.
