Hillcrest Christian College

Hillcrest Christian College is an independent, coeducational day school located on the Gold Coast, Australia.  Our international award-winning curriculum and pastoral care program are divided into four divisions: Early Learning (Ages 0-5 years old), Junior School (Prep to Year 4), Middle School (Year 5 to Year 8) and Senior School (Year 9 to Year 12).

Hillcrest’s state-of-the-art facilities provide our students with a vibrant academic, artistic and sporting environment.  We have received international and national awards, including: recognised as one of the 100 most innovative schools worldwide by Cambridge University in 2018; the 2017 Educator Magazine’s Innovation Schools Award; top-tier national Basketball program and renowned Performance Arts program.

Conversation and collaboration between student and teacher are at the heart of Hillcrest.  Our Project-Based learning environment is rigorous, innovative and student-centred, fostering a dynamic classroom approach that provokes deeper learning through active exploration of real-world problems and issues.  Our mission is to challenge minds, ignite imagination, and train the future leaders that have been entrusted to us. These goals are in the pursuit of expanding children’s lives spiritually and enlarging their capacity to treat others with genuine dignity and respect.

International students are assigned English-speaking homestay families who have been carefully selected by the College, ensuring a full immersion experience of Australian culture and way of life.
