Hilger Higher Learning reserves the right to refuse any student for acceptance into our program, at Hilger Higher Learning’s sole discretion. We strive to keep high standards for our students, and we want the environment of our program to remain positive, encouraging, and beneficial for all of the students enrolled. In order to do that, we would like for you to fill out the following questionnaire which will provide us with some important information about your family.
We require that at least one parent/guardian has made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ and is in regular attendance at a local Christian church. We are a distinctly Christian tutorial program providing quality educational classes from a biblical perspective for children of Christian families.
In order to serve all of our families to the fullest and maximize the possibility that all students get to enroll in their desired courses, we give priority course placement to returning students, students taking multiple classes, students with sibling schedules that need to be coordinated, earliest applicants, and eldest applicants. Please understand that we may accept your student into a different section of a course for which you have applied, if necessary, for the reasons mentioned above.
Some of our courses are in person only courses, the courses listed below do not allow Online Real Time (Zoom) students. If you apply for one of the following, please select "In Person" when asked how your student will attend this class.
Please note that you can always join any class online if you are sick or traveling, for up to two consecutive weeks.
