ELC to Year 12

Early Learning Centre
The ELC provides a welcoming and safe environment, where we recognise the unique nature of each and every child, viewing them as capable, curious and intelligent individuals.

Primary Education
With a focus on student wellbeing and leadership development, our aim is to provide students with a range of experiences, building on their current skills and learning to ensure their personal success.

Secondary Education
Our Secondary School is a dynamic learning community where we provide an inspiring, relevant and challenging program which builds on the foundations established in the earlier years
RICH COMMUNITY
A Place to Belong
Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. As parents and caregivers, we long for a school where our child is not only nurtured and encouraged but also deeply valued – a place where they can truly belong.
At Hills Christian Community School (HILLS), we believe that every child is created by God with unique gifts and purpose. Our mission is to provide a Christ-centered education that empowers students to grow in faith, character, and academic excellence. With God at the heart of everything we do, we cultivate an environment where students are inspired to embrace resilience, seize opportunities, and live with an enduring sense of hope.
HILLS is more than a school – it is a Jesus-centred community where students are nurtured in their faith, encouraged to develop their God-given potential, and provided with a breadth of opportunities to thrive. We partner with families to empower students as lifelong learners and compassionate, courageous individuals who contribute meaningfully to the world.
Nestled on 19 acres in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, our school offers a rich and immersive learning environment that extends beyond the four walls of the classroom. Surrounded by God’s creation, students are encouraged to explore, create, and discover through hands-on experiences that foster curiosity, innovation, and collaboration. We see God’s handiwork in nature and instill a deep respect for His world through sustainability initiatives and outdoor learning opportunities that support students’ spiritual, intellectual, and emotional growth.
HILLS provides a continuous educational journey from Early Learning to Year 12, ensuring consistency, stability, and a strong sense of community throughout your child’s schooling. We warmly invite you to discover more about our extraordinary learning environment and experience the HILLS difference for yourself.

PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME
A Unique School Experience, Nurturing Young Minds.
Hills Christian Community School (HILLS) is a unique school set in a wonderful natural environment and focused on nurturing young people to become outstanding members of our community. We provide a high quality educational program firmly based on Christian values.
HILLS has inspired and taught young people since opening in the village of Verdun in 1983. The relocation of the Secondary School from Oakbank to the recently purchased property adjacent to the Primary site means HILLS is now an ELC to Year 12 non-denominational school with over 700 students.
Since those early years the school has been served by a passionate team of Christian Educators who value children and seek to nurture young minds. Using the values promoted by The HILLS Way of Respect, Integrity, Courage, Empathy and Excellence, a safe and engaging learning environment has been developed that promotes curiosity, discovery, independence and fun.
The school provides a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, including year level nature-based camps and experiences which are a highlight for most students. There are many opportunities in sport and culture.
I invite you to contact the school and make a time to visit. I would be pleased to welcome you personally.
