Hill Country Christian School

Our kid is in their fifth year at Hill Country We definitely recommend this school! I have watched a wonderful transformation of this school over the past few years. Our high school kid feels very comfortable interacting with the staff. There are different academic curriculum tracks. The Learning Center is offered for kids needing extra help academically or a GATE program for kids that needs to be challenged a bit more. The homework load always seemed appropriate (study hall is offered for upper school). The opportunity to play multiple sports has been nice (coaching staff is great). The guidance counselor is there for your kid! She is knowledgeable about the college process and eager to sit with you. Other activities include academic clubs, drama, fencing, a music conservatory and FCA just to name a few. Our kid is very involved in school both academic and athletic activities. Even with this being the case, we still have time for church, family, and community service. I feel it is important to say that this, or any other school, is not Utopia. Hill Country is though a wonderful school where your kid can get a great classical education with Christ-like values.

We have been part of the Hill Country School of Austin (HCCSA) family for the past 9 years and can confidently say that HCCSA s admirable emphasis on education with Jesus Christ fully integrated in every part of the curriculum, has been a blessing for our girls. Not only do they provide exceptional Classical teaching but they also are focused on maintaining a Christ-centered environment. We have an amazing group of teachers and administrative staff members who genuinely love our kids, truly live the Christian life and care about teaching them to strive for excellence while growing their relationship with the Lord. If you are looking to bless your children with the proper balance between spiritual inspiration, development and academics - one of our Core Values, look no more , you found the right school! We love our school and by 2014, both our girls will have graduated from Hill Country Christian School of Austin.

Hill Country Christian School of Austin is an amazing place. The teachers are committed to the education and training of each student. They do not abandon the students but embrace and support them.The teachers incorporate practical biblical principles into the daily lesson so the children learn to include God in every task and activity. Hill Country Christian School of Austin supported my family while my wife was deployed in Iraq. The administration has a dedicated staff with high standards and relentless work ethics My wife and I searched for the perfect school. HCCS has been a perfect fit for our family. The learning center and experienced diagnostician are rare assets. Having a son with ADHD this program has been very helpful for him. HCCS sports program creates opportunities for all to participate.Our children are 1st and 2nd graders and are die-hard Knight fan.We know our children are being taught to do everything in excellence for God's glory and to never leave a Knight behind or alone. "Go Knights".

Our daughter has attended HCCSA for five years since Kindergarten, and our son is in Kindergarten at the school and has attended the Pre-K program here. When our daughter was in preschool , we researched various private schools and private Christian schools hoping to find an academically rigorous school that promoted Christian values. HCCSA has fulfilled them both! We have been extremely happy with the level of education they are receiving. The staff and teachers are absolutely wonderful! The teachers are very nurturing and they do a great job teaching academics as well as helping them grow in character. Our children love going to school everyday and absolutely love their teachers!

We've had children at the school for 13 years. At first I was content that my children were getting an education at a Christian private school to help reinforce the morals we were raising our children to have. Over the years, I began to understand the value of the classical education. I began to see that Hill Country Christian School didn't just instill good morals in my children. It also didn't merely teach my children to memorize information in order to pass a state mandated test. Most importantly, Hill Country tought my children how to think. How to use and build upon the gifts God has given them and be prepared for life.

One thing you get in this school that is just priceless is a partnership. As a parent, you get a partner in your child's education and spiritual maturity. You also have a community of parents to do life with and encourage you as a family!

HCCSA has provided my child with a nurturing and supportive learning environment. Above all, the school and it's faculty are providing a spiritual belief system from which he will draw his core values and continue his quest for knowledge and faith. We have no question that HCCSA will provide our son with not only an education standard that will prepare him more than adequately for life and it's many challenges, but most importantly the knowledge and spiritual gifts for a compassionate, well balanced individual within a society that is need of more and more individuals possessing these qualities. We plan to keep him through 12th grade and believe the classical education, along with spiritual and loving support will prepare him for his higher education desires and further.

We have been at Hill Country four years and are very pleased with the school. Our kids are able to participate in multiple sports and activities, something which would not be possible at a public school. Our kids are able to develop great relationships with their teachers and coaches who feed into their lives both educationally and spiritually.

We have had children at Hill Country now for 7 years and have been very pleased with the outstanding education our children are receiving. Not only is the academic curriculum strong and challenging, but our children are learning about Christ and how to "see God" in all aspects of learning. We love that the school is our partner in raising up our children in the way they should go. The teachers truly care about the students--they do an excellent job of teaching as well as helping them grow in character and Christ-likeness. We also love how the teachers get to know the children so well that they are intentional and prayerful about recommending which class each child is placed in the following year. We have outstanding leadership at Hill Country that is constantly seeking to improve the school and has implemented a strong vision and strategic plan for the school. We thank God for the blessing of having our children educated here at Hill Country.

I am currently a student in the 5th grade, and I've been attending since Kindergarten. Our school is very advanced in academics, my teachers and principal are fair. It is very easy to have fun here. New students don't have to be afraid on the first day because others are very welcoming. There is a wide range of personality from athletic to artists and anywhere in between, so it is very easy to find your own circle of friends. There is also a boys 5th-6th grade flag football team so you get the chance to have fun competing for your school. I get to take guitar lessons at the school conservatory, too. If you are looking for a school, this is the place to choose.
