Some question if a Christian school prepares students for the real world.” When we study the world, we find it to have order, and at Hillcrest, we expect to see that because God is an orderly being and created the world. If the world is organized according to God’s design, truly understanding the world from His perspective is to participate in reasoned education. In light of this, responding to this organization with respect, awe, and wonder is the appropriate byproduct of genuinely understanding the uniqueness of the world. At Hillcrest, we train students to study the world, understand the Creator by studying His Word, and respond to His character, evident in the created order and communicated through the Bible. So, being in a Christian community is the real world.” FIND OUT MORE What’s the International Program?

The Lutheran Brethren is a consortium of churches that bands together to preach the Gospel worldwide.

We believe every life is eternally significant because God makes life eternally significant. So for us, to know God and understand His world unlocks the opportunity to join Jesus in His mission of redeeming and restoring the world to glorify Him. To live a life of eternal significance simply means to understand God redeems and restores lives for eternal glory. Therefore, Hillcrest equips students for lives of eternal significance by helping them realize the work of Jesus Christ on the cross, how he atones for the sins of the world, and how he invites us to be a part of his redemption work worldwide. My Kid isn’t in a Classical School now, is that a problem?? Some families may pause at joining a classical program in grade school or high school if their child hasn’t had that foundation. While the classical model does build on foundational knowledge, it is never too late to enroll and gain the benefits. Our teachers are mentors and can encourage those who want to learn with important stepping stones to learn and engage with their classmates. It’s never too late to reap the benefits of a classical approach to learning. READ MORE I’m not Lutheran Brethren, does that matter? Denominations are important. They form a unity in the body of Christ around deeply held convictions. The conviction of the Lutheran Brethren is missional. If you believe in the Triune God, and that man is justified by faith alone through Christ alone, and you believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the atonement of sins, you’ll fit right in. If you’re simply looking for a great place for your kid to attend school and learn about Jesus Christ, Hillcrest is a great place to start.
