We will know your child

“O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.” – Psalm 139:1-2 In Psalm 139, David stands in awe that God knows everything about him and perfectly understands his ways. In the same way God knows your child’s likes and dislikes, their temperament and tendencies, we desire to know our students and point them to Jesus.

We will

know

your child

We will love your child

When did God start loving your child? From eternity past! Regarding the nation of Israel, God tells the prophet Jeremiah, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” (Jeremiah 31:3) At Hill Country, we strive to love our students as Jesus loves them – unconditionally.

We will

love

your child

We will prepare your child

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” We are motivated with a Christ-like passion to see students equipped to lay hold of the incredible life God has designed specifically for them – all to bring Him glory!

We will

prepare

your child

There are many things we love about Hill Country,

but two of them are the close-knit community and our faculty. The greatest assets of this school are the teachers, staff, and coaches who invest so much of their time into our children to become Christian leaders and lifelong learners.

Hill Country Stories

One distinctive that sets Hill Country Christian School apart is our close-knit, Christ-centered community. We believe the best way to learn about our school is to hear personal stories from our faculty, parents, and alumni about their Hill Country experiences.

Dear Hill Country Families,

Recently, we were honored to have Dr. Christopher Perrin join us virtually for professional development with our faculty and staff. Dr. Perrin is a national leader, author, and speaker for the renewal of classical education and the co-founder and CEO/publisher of Classical Academic Press. He hosts The Christopher Perrin Show, in which he discusses topics related to renewing and advancing classical education. He also serves as the President of the Alcuin Fellowship, which has brought together educators from around the nation passionately committed to the renewal of classical education.

Enjoy this month’s [IN] Conversation—edited for brevity and clarity—with Dr. Christopher Perrin below.

In Him,

Matt Donnowitz, Head of School

Dr. Christopher Perrin:
When was the last time you were so caught up or transfixed in conversation that the world disappeared? Have you had some times recently when you’ve had a conversation with others, perhaps coupled with food or drink, where you lost consciousness of the daily trappings that were about you?

The word symposium, in Greek, means “with drinks'' and conveys an undistracted time with friends to converse and study the things that are most worthwhile. The Greek word scholé, “leisure,” is at the root of the English word “school,” and, alongside symposium, conveys this idea of contemplation and restful learning. But that’s not often what we think of when we think of school, is it? There’s not a lot of scholé in American progressive schools. From scholé we also get the German word schule, the Italian scuola, the Spanish escuela, the French école, and the Latin schola. While contemplation and restful learning are at the foundation of the idea of school, the trouble is that we’ve inherited patterns of doing school that are quite opposite to contemplation and restful learning. We’ve been so formed by these patterns that we’re not even aware of them. But what if school was informed not just by what we’ve inherited, but by this idea of scholé, this tradition of contemplation and restful learning?

First graders celebrated their dads with an annual "Thankful for Dads" event. Students read books they wrote to their fathers, sang, and enjoyed a hearty breakfast together.

Head of School, Mr. Donnowitz, spoke to the students and their dads about the role God has given fathers. From Proverbs 17:6, we learn that "the glory of children is their fathers," and we want to do everything we can to reinforce that God-given role.

IN the Classroom: Educating. Preparing. Inspiring.

In this new series, IN the Classroom, I’m interviewing six teachers about their philosophy of education, why they choose to teach at Hill Country, and their favorite things about working with students. These interviews progress chronologically by grade, providing unique insights and thoughts from the hearts of our educators and giving a glimpse of what it’s like to learn in their classrooms.

In our first interview, I sit down with first grade teacher, Sherrie Reichenau, to ask her about the joys of teaching first grade, how she encourages her students’ curiosity and wonder, and how she models lifelong learning in the classroom. I hope it’s a blessing to you.

With excellence,

Sarah Novlan, Director of Academics
