“Our vision is that each student attains intellectual, spiritual, physical and social excellence.”

Mission Statement "Our mission is to enhance each student's personal, purposeful, and process development."
  • Personal Development - that each student would be blessed with a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, and according to Jesus' exemplary precedent would increase "in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52)
  • Purposeful Development - that each student would recognize and embrace his/her unique gifts and God-ordained purpose in life (Psalm 139:13-16)
  • Process Development - that Highlands Christian Schools would enrich the pedagogy initiated in the home, fulfilling the Biblical precept to "train up a child in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6)
