Check-out the schedule: www.ffhillcrest.org/livestream. Keep Up With Us Facebook Twitter Education With a Chest Men without chests is a phrase used by C.S. Lewis in his timeless classic The Abolition of Man. Lewis comments on a literature textbook which told students what to think rather than how to think.  In this week's Principal's Blog we comment on a radio program by John Stonestreet. His call is for an education that teaches students how to think rather than what to think. Hillcrest's unique approach to education highlighting discipleship and a Biblically-based understanding of academic disciplines enables students to question and fully understand God's design for every social and academic sphere. A Parent's Perspective Karen Pellegrino is an alumn and current parent at Hillcrest. She joined her daughter Emily on the Dominican Mission trip during Thanksgiving break.  Click on the video to the right to hear Karen's perspective of Hillcrest. She comments how HLA has retained some of her highschool highlights while also incorporating new and challenging experiences that enable students to live a life of significance.
