Killian Hill Christian School

JUNIOR HIGH (Grades 7 – 8)

The junior high program at Killian Hill is about fully equipping our students—mind, body, and spirit—for the next step in their lives.

Open Dialogue:

Every teacher is dedicated to the Christian faith and committed to integrating Biblical Truth into all aspects of school life. Our teachers regularly provide student support during after-school help classes.
