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 home, church and school.
This arrangement also helps our students find friends from families with similar values, morals and beliefs as your family.
