About Us
School Philosophy and Values
Hillcity Schools, as a Christian mission school, is deeply committed to nurturing character and godliness in every facet of our students' lives. This includes their academic journey, social interactions, and engagement in sports. We prioritize spiritual development, and our teachers play a pivotal role in modeling Christian character.
Music and Curriculum
Our institution places a significant emphasis on the power of music in education. Music is not merely an extracurricular activity; it's an integral part of our curriculum. We believe in the therapeutic benefits of music, which is why our students are exposed to and trained in various musical skills. Our music studio is equipped with a wide array of musical instruments, and we go beyond the Nigerian Curriculum by designating music as a core subject.
Teaching and Learning Environment
Shaping Futures Through Innovation and Interaction
To ensure effective education, Hillcity College harnesses the power of modern teaching aids and equipment. We incorporate electronic and visual teaching aids to enhance the learning process. Our students benefit from interactive boards and are encouraged to have personal computers. The learning experience is enriched by providing students with digital access to their subjects' scheme of work and notes. This digital interaction also extends to a controlled exposure to the internet.
Collaboration and Partnership
At Hillcity Schools, we don't view our role as taking over the responsibilities of parents; instead, we see ourselves as partners in your child's educational journey. We believe in collaborating with parents to help your children realize their God-given potential and stand out in their generation. This collaborative effort extends to maintaining regular communication between home and school, reflecting our belief that the school is an extension of the home.
