I'm not sure how anybody could find something wrong at HCS. Trust me, I spend enough time there! We're quite like a family; we tease eachother and have some disagreements, but we always make up and have a great laugh about it later. Even the teachers laugh, too! Is it pathetic of me to say that I actually

My oldest son Jacob graduated this year and I could not possibly be more pleased. HCS has been a special memory he will keep forever. My second son has dyslexia and is in a special program for children such as himself. His teachers go above and beyond to help him. My daughter my oldest daughter wll begin

Both of my girls were singing in German and Spanish over the weekend. They are able to sign many things as well. My third grader plays the piano, the recorder and sings. She can't wait to be old enough to add the flute and hand bells to her music studies. Children fourish in this special place. Mr. Wilson is a God send. Read less
Very good overall. As in any school, a small # of teachers you wont like, but most are excellent and caring. I can't say enough good things about principal, Brian Wilson. He does everything with excellence; is very responsive to parents' concerns; engages the students in the hallways and at school

Where else can you go in MD to get a well-rounded, Christian ed for your special needs child for under $6000/year?

HCS is an amazing school with amazing people. I am so thankful that we are able to send our child there and cannot wait for our younger child to attend starting 9/2009. There are many opportunities there contrary to what some of the reviews say. Readers, keep in mind, this is a Christian school.

HCS does prepare you for the real world! They teach you how to deal with everyday situations in this real and scary world with truths from God's Word and how to remain what He wants you to be rather than conforming to this world around us.

i used to be a student there, but i left after freshan year. The school is ridiculous, basically if you're a young man this is not the school for you. The teachers prefer girls, but if you're a teacher or faculty kid, you'll be fine anyou can probably get away with anything. HCS really takes the fun

No college fairs or guidance couselors to help with college searches. No college reps, except for those from Bob Jones. There's a reason why so many kids leave, they keep you much too sheltered and don't prepare childrenfor the real world. Read less

HCS has something absolutely missing from government schools: God consciousness. It is in every classroom and every lesson. The academics are no slouch and can be compared to any school in Maryland. But, first things first: they know who God is.
