In recent years Jos has had to deal with local ethnic, economic, political and religious tensions. From time to time these tensions build up into crises situations. Hillcrest has never been part of these tensions and while at times one must be careful about entering certain sections of the city, the campus and the surrounding mission compounds have remained safe places to work and live.
Hillcrest is a secure campus.
Regular security drills take place to help children know where to go in case of an emergency.
The international media, as well as foreign embassies, might discourage one from traveling to, or living in Jos. Consulting with local mission and church agencies might provide one with better information and assurance. Please feel free to call or text or write Hillcrest School about any security concerns you might have.
