Our kids are our greatest gift; they are our legacy for future generations.
How will you invest in that legacy?
Hillcrest Christian School provides an excellent Christ centered educational experience for students infant through 12th grade. We are a covenantal Christian school, which makes us unique in the Conejo Valley. Covenantal means we partner with families that have already established a Christian home, attend a Christian church, and desire to partner with a Christian school. We believe it is absolutely the best situation for our students to receive the same message from church, home and school. This arrangement also helps our students find friends from families with similar values, morals and beliefs as your family.

For 44 years, Hillcrest Christian School has provided exceptional education to thousands of alumni who have gone on to excel in the colleges of their choice. Our 95% college/university acceptance rate average is a great testimony to the high quality learning experience provided by our dedicated faculty.

HCS provides an outstanding Christian education, enabling students to excel academically, while building confidence through the nurturing, safe environment that reinforces character and service over self.
Starting the first day of 9th grade, our students start working towards college acceptances or their career path, and HCS is right there guiding them as we build an individualized portfolio. We maintain a file in our guidance office for each high school student, highlighting their experiences and achievements to put them in the best light for colleges and employers. We also offer them AP classes and Dual Enrollment classes right here on our campus taught with a Christian perspective by our Christian teachers to earn college credit before college. Our relatively smaller size also gives our students the potential opportunity to star in the musical, make the sports team, sing in the praise band, and be a part of student government, all in the same year. All of these activities help make our students attractive to colleges and universities. We are so excited to see the plan God has in store for each one of our high school students.

At every grade level Hillcrest Christian provides an atmosphere that equips each child, enabling them to reach their full potential academically and spiritually. HCS’s positive environment encourages students to discover and enhance their God given creative talents and abilities, while guiding students to seek their individual destiny and make a difference in the lives of others.
We take safety and security very seriously at HCS with two armed guards and 24-hour video surveillance. Our property is fully fenced and gated. All personnel undergo full background screenings.

Inspiring Excellence Since 1977

What Parents Are Saying...
After a set of circumstances, our three high-schoolers transferred from a giant local private school with an impressive appearance to Hillcrest Christian who actually lives out their name. HCS has its STUDENTS/families (not its appearance) at its heart. If you're looking for an environment where your student will learn what it means to be a recognized part of a family, HCS is that place.
