Educating to the Highest Standard of the Classical Tradition

Highlands Latin is a private, classical, Christian school. Our goal is to provide our students with a classical education of the highest quality and to create a private school which is a model of excellence in both academics and Christian character.

Classical

In the tradition of western civilization, education and classical education have always been synonymous. Classical education can be distinguished from modern education, in that it does not neglect the important first step of giving students the classical tools for both intellectual development and for understanding their classical, Christian heritage.

Christian

Our faith statement is the Apostles’ Creed, the most ancient and widely accepted expression of the essential beliefs of the Christian faith. Highlands Latin teaches and upholds traditional Christian morality, and the Holy Scriptures as the divinely inspired word of God.

Traditional

In the traditional classroom, a knowledgeable, enthusiastic teacher carefully leads students into an understanding of each subject. The traditional classroom is consistent with human nature and the experience of many decades has demonstrated its superiority over the modern child-centered classroom.

Parent Testimonials

Hear directly from our community how HLS is edifying families

Parent of a 4th Grade Student

“Like all children, [our daughter] has a natural curiosity and a child-like wonder at the things of the world, whether socially, spiritually, or scientifically. HLS provokes that spirit in her and we love watching."

Parent of a Kindergarten Student

“I’m so thankful that I can spend this morning with my boy, doing his schoolwork together instead of sending him off for a 40-hour school week! And that when he does go, it’s such a special place we’re sending him to.”

Parent of a 5th Grade Student

"I am thrilled to report that my son is now excited again about school and learning...I appreciate the faculty and administration and can’t wait to see [our son] continue to grow this year.”
