We are a classical Christian school serving the Hamilton, Ontario area. We partner with parents to teach children to love God and neighbour, to know their home and heritage, and to carry child-like wonder with them all their lives. Why Oak Hill? Christian | Tuning children's hearts to love God and all that God loves. We stand in the historic Christian faith and delight in the gospel of grace. Classical | Classical learning prioritizes habit-training and virtue. Advancing through the trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, children learn to think coherently, reason capably, and speak eloquently. Restful | Class sizes are small and we do not teach to tests. Their is a liturgical rhythm to our day. Our curriculum is paced to help students master the language and mathematical arts, and to write beautiful truth on their hearts. Integrated | Our curriculum is woven together through three cords - history, biblical studies, and nature study - that provide continuity, coherence, and context within each class and throughout Kindergarten to Grade 12. Low-tech | Pencils, chalk, paintbrushes, and paper - we prioritize manual over digital experiences, and the fine and common arts: music, poetry, painting, architecture, theatre, gardening, and manual craft. Children do not have access to screens, and screens are sparingly used as teaching tools. Love of home | We put children in relation with real things and their local world, learning the names and natures of bugs, plants, earth, buildings, and neighbours. This cultivates a love of place from which care and responsibility flow. Radix coronam nutrit. The root nourishes the crown. Welcome!
