ADMISSIONS
Admissions Philosophy
Hillsdale Christian School is open to anyone interested in securing a Christian education from Pre-K through 12th Grade whom the school finds qualified for admission. It must always be understood that attendance at Hillsdale Christian School is a privilege and not a right. The privilege must be forfeited by any student who does not conform to the school’s standards of conduct and/or who is unwilling to adjust to our environment.
All students must be convinced they want to attend HCS and agree to honestly & wholeheartedly apply themselves to “study to show (themselves) approved unto God.” They must also agree to be courteous and respectful to their peers, staff, faculty, and other daily associates.
HCS admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origins, and disability to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. HCS reserves the right to select students on the basis of academic performance, religious commitment, lifestyle choices, and personal qualifications including a willingness to cooperate with HCS administration and to abide by its policies.
