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.

IEW Teacher Training and Certification

Each summer our teachers work on training to improve their own education and skills in the classroom. For the second summer our teachers will have the option to complete a four day long course that gives instruction and practicums in writing from Institutes for Excellence Writing. Each teacher will have the option to not only complete the writing assignments, ranging from short stories to essays to literary critiques, but prepare to use the methods in their own classrooms, collecting writing samples from their students to submit to IEW to become an accredited instructor.

Last summer over half of our teachers completed this course. The remaining teachers will complete this training this summer.

What are parents saying?

The most amazing thing about OH community is how welcoming both the faculty and students are to any new students. We transferred our child here late in the year and he was made to feel a part of the school on his first day with a buddy to shadow him. We were worried about the transition initially because their curriculum was more advanced. OH has provided a safe and comfortable environment for our child to learn and to further develop morally and socially.

Colin's experience has been top notch for 3 years in a row. Thanks for the work that you and the team are leading.
