Independent Study at HCS - "Satellite Saints"
HCS offers a new program to support Christian homeschool parents call "Satellite Saints".

Hillcrest Christian School is proud to announce the creation of our private satellite program, the Satellite Saints. As Christians, we believe that God has entrusted us with the responsibility of raising and educating our children. Here at Hillcrest, we strive to be an extension of the home to aid parents in this endeavor. With this in mind, we have extended our ministry to include a home school/independent study program known as a Private Satellite Program (PSP). It is our hope that together we can help Christian parents educate their children in a way that glorifies our Lord and falls within the legal parameters of the state.

This new program is designed to help in two areas. First, a PSP allows families to home school legally under the Private School Provision by maintaining all records and files. Second, the Satellite Saints will provide families with support and guidance by offering educational and social opportunities that many home schooling families lack. In addition to park days, field trips, and parent support meetings, our PSP students will be invited to join us for weekly chapel. This program is open to all grades and will include CIF participation for those in high school.
