Learn to Read. Learn to Think. Live for Christ.


Herndon, VA

Welcome to our Learning Community

Welcome to Oak Hill Christian School, a learning community that serves families of JK-12th grade students in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties. It is our goal to help mothers and fathers give sound Christian education to their children without neglecting high academic standards, nor succumbing to the pitfalls of modern education.

We are a family operated business that is directly responsible to parents. We invite you to look through our website and learn more about who we are at OHCS and what we offer your family.

We are committed and ready to help educate your child because we are a family of educators and we are actively teaching our own children at Oak Hill.
--Robert and Sheila Thoburn

What are parents saying?

Allison now can read independently . . . The good habit of loving to read has been developed throughout the school year. She can now count by ones, twos, fives and tens up to 200. Her love for God has been cultured in her heart. She also has been learning so much in art, music, science and geography! We are very impressed with her academic and behavioral progress. First Grade Parent

I do not have words that adequately express my gratitude. I am very grateful to the school staff for the excellent education they have provided to both of my children and the safe environment at the school. I cannot believe the journey at Oak Hill is coming to an end. I am both excited for my children and very sad to say goodbye. I wish the school very much success and happiness in the future.
