Research Hill Country Christian School private Schools in Austin, Texas

“The is a very good school academically, particularly for grades K-8. I believe public school IB programs are better than this private high school. It is a Christ-centered school, which I really like. The teachers and staff are also loving and dedicated. The school should try to improve the high school program to be more competitive with public IB programs. In addition, the school is not prepared to deal with divers cultures. I believe the staff, teachers and even students need training related to accepting diverse races and cultures.”

“I have taught at Hill Country for three years and my son has also attended Hill Country with me. It is a dream working environment and a top notch school. We could not be happier.”

“I have 3 kids (1st, 3rd & 8th) that attend HCCSA and have all been there since Kindergarten so we have been apart of the school for 9 years. Through the teachers, staff and principals, it has consistently had a heart to teach/lead students toward Christ and Godly charter but still give a great academic base and love of learning. Despite what one review said about the school board being 'closed' - I totally disagree, we have a God-seeking school board. Just because issues aren't handled in the way a parent wants doesn't mean they are closed or not open to parent feedback. I would encourage anyone to attend this school - your child is only in school once - make it a great experience at HCCSA.”

“My 4th grader has gone here since Kinder. It is a classical school that is demanding of mind and spirit. The level of difficulty amazes me. Go to their website, the mission statement speaks for itself.History is studied in chronolgical order beginning w/ creation to present.Trips are incorprated for reinforcement. We are working ahead in grammar & math.Parent involvement is high and encouraged.Tuition to comp. schools is exc.Cafeterias and fab sports fields are pd by your hard earned $. We are a family not just a prep school.Discipline is valued,self responsibilty expected.The board gives access,but you have to go to the meetings. They can be reached by email.Positive change is in the air. Music is great so is art Latin.Go by and read school paper to see caliber of students aBlessed school!”

“We have been at HCCSA for the last three years, and our children received a great education during that time. In 2006, however, there was a hugh turnover in the administrative staff, and the focus of the school shifted form high academic excellence to high spiritual formation. If you are looking for a college preapratory program that offers high academic standards for your children, this is not the right school for you. In addition, the school board is extremely closed, and you have no hope of your questions being addressed. We have decided not to enroll our children at HCCSa for next year.”

“I have 2 children that have attended HCCSA since Kindergarten. I have a 7th grader and a 3rd grader. This school is exceptional in Christian character development and in Academics. The extra activities, such as Art, Music, and Sports, where initial pretty weak put each year have been improving. Excellent Facilities provided by a semi-mega church, except on the sport side of things and in the lack of a real Cafeteria. Overall the teachers and leadership seem pretty solid. For the price it is the best value private school in the Austin area. As time goes buy I suspect it will become the best regardless of price. It is very challenging from the Academic side so keep that in mind. I have the nature to be sort of critical so my ratings are 'real' and probably a little pessimistic”
