The school is great. There is a great sense of community between students, and other students are extremely supportive, as are faculty and staff.

My daughter completed 7th through 12th grade at Hillcrest Academy and it changed her life in so many ways. Socially she made deep friendships that I'm sure will last a lifetime and academically her grades improved by more than 2 to 3 levels depending upon the subject. The small class size and the dedicated instructors really helped to improve her grades. Spiritually her faith deepened to levels that we had prayed for. God spoke to her at Hillcrest and then blessed her with a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend this school.

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.

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...

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...
