At Hillcrest Christian School, we know that a Christian education is an investment in both faith and future. We partner with families to make this journey attainable through fundraising opportunities, and tuition assistance for qualified Preschool–12 students. Every family’s circumstances are different, and we approach tuition with a heart of understanding. Parents often share that the faith-filled environment, strong community, and lasting impact their children receive at Hillcrest make the investment truly worthwhile.
