Student Application Process

Hillcrest considers each applicant as a potential member of our family. We take special consideration to how each applicant might strengthen or challenge the community at Hillcrest. As a distinctly Christian school, our student body is made predominately of families who take faith in Jesus Christ and faith-formation seriously. We do accept a small percentage of students (under 9% of our total student body) who may not have a faith tradition, but who display interest in learning about a Biblical perspective. You can read our full Admission Policy here.

Applying is easy using our Online Application. We encourage families to apply online as it simplifies submission and provides parents a tool for tracking online the status of their admission after their application has been submitted.

Application Fees (must be submitted with each student’s application):

  • Grades Preschool-5: There is a non-refundable application fee of $75

  • Grades 6-12: There is a non-refundable application fee of $125
