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

Community Discussion: AI & Us
Curious about AI? Concerned? Confused? You’re not alone.
Are you a parent who’s heard about AI but you aren’t sure what it really is, or how it’s impacting your child’s education? Are you a teacher working hard to engage students, but wondering how AI fits into the picture? Are you a student overwhelmed by the flood of online information and unsure how to sort through it all? Or maybe you’re someone who has navigated AI thoughtfully and wants to share what you’ve learned.
If any of these sound like you, we invite you to join our upcoming community discussion: AI & US– How to Approach and Use AI with Discernment in the Classroom.
Thursday, May 29 from 6:30-8:00 P.M. at our Herndon VA campus. If you would like to learn more or want to R.S.V.P., email office@oakhillk12.com. We look forward to seeing you!
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.
