Hillcrest Christian Academy

An award-leading parochial school located in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, PA under the direction of South Hills Assembly of God (southhillsag.org). Accredited through the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Hillcrest provides Christ-centered academic training for pre-K through 12th grade. Established in 1982, Hillcrest has evolved and grown as a prominent resource of comprehensive education with an exceptional curriculum including foreign-language, literature, art, music, history, speech, computer, science, biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and athletics. Integrating daily prayer, classroom devotions, and weekly chapel services conducted by select leaders from area churches, an atmosphere of God-honoring respect is evident throughout the campus, teachers, faculty, and students. While discipline is necessary within educational systems, Hillcrest follows Biblical principles and is certified in the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. Contributing to the overall effort of discipline and security, Hillcrest also enforces a simple dress code supporting modesty, building comradery, and reducing social competitiveness. The appropriate teacher-to-student ratio combined with curriculum and support of family teachings outside of the classroom, students at Hillcrest continuously score high on national test scores. With an overall score of 77% (National average = 50%), Hillcrest students have proven to be thoroughly prepared for continuing education efforts and future life adventures with character rooted in service, compassion, respect, and integrity.
