It's fine. We have our pros and cons. I personally think the academics could be better taught and managed but it is very affordable for a private boarding school, and the community and material seem to be aboveboard

I'm a parent of four Hillcrest students. The thing that I like the most about Hillcrest is the atmosphere of acceptance, inclusion, and community that teachers and students create at Hillcrest. My quirky, multicultural sons found a home there when we returned to the USA. One thanked God every day for Hillcrest. My daughter, who was bullied in public school for being "different" is accepted for who she is at Hillcrest.

This is an amazing school!! The classrooms are full of encouragement and the teachers care about the students! The food is good and the dorms are in repair which are still accommodating to the students. The school is very thorough with who they hire for staff and who they accept into the school. No school is perfect but this one is close to it! There is such a great Christian community with constant friendships being made throughout all grades and laughter filling the halls. It is a great environment for any student to be surrounded by this classical education to work hard and retain information. It also has many class options and is able to fulfill the learning needs of the students. Definitely a school to consider and attend!

My children have attended Hillcrest for two years and what a difference I have seen in them. They just finished 2nd and 6th having come away with an education that I am proud of, friendships that are wholesome and supportive, and their knowledge of Scripture and God's creation far exceed what I had...
