The Hillcrest Hostels operate with the purpose of providing a safe and nurturing environment for students who cannot live with their immediate family because of distance to the school. Hostels serve as a home away from home, with the Hostel Parents serving as the students’ parents in the absence of the students' natural or legal parents. Hostels also nurture the spiritual growth of students staying at the hostel.
There are two types of Hostels: Hostels run and managed by Hillcrest (Pineview and Heckman) andhosteloperated by an independent organization (Divine View ).
Student Conduct: Students are expected to abide by the rules of the school. There are also additional rules in each hostel regarding conduct, curfew, activities and so on. All students entering the hostel must sign a “Hostel Covenant Agreement.” This agreement spells out the relationship which will be expected between the hostel parents and the students, clearly indicating that hostel parents are acting in the place of parents for students under their care and will command the respect and obedience due to parents. This document will serve as a reference point for any discipline issue that may arise.
Application Process: Students who have been accepted to attend Hillcrest School may apply to Hillcrest Hostels. Admission to the school does not guarantee admission to the hostels. A separate application form must be filled out and mailed or sent by email to the school. The Hostel Administrator shall also arrange an interview with the parents and applying student.
Costs: Each Hostel has its own fee schedule. This information is available if you contact the school administration at hostelinfo@hillcrestschool.net.
