We believe that as children train their minds through academics, they should also strengthen their bodies through athletic endeavors, and develop a spiritual foundation as they learn to "act justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly with God."  At Highlands Christian School, your children will learn to think independently while developing a love of learning that will stay with them forever.  Our 15:1 teacher-student ratio and exceptional teachers make us unique among Dallas schools. We emphasize academic excellence, development of character, a "whole child" focus, and independent thinking within a supportive and nurturing environment.  ![DSC00604\_500](https://www.highlandschristianschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC00604_500.jpg?width=333&height=500&name=DSC00604_500.jpg "DSC00604_500") Educational Philosophy #### The Carden Method Educating in the proven Carden Method, Highlands Christian provides each child with a **strong phonetic foundation in reading and spelling** and provides them with **analytical thinking tools** to better understand the written word for reading comprehension.

[Learn more about each of our teachers.](https://www.highlandschristianschool.com/faculty?hsLang=en) "Our family is thrilled to join HCS! The proven curriculum and lineup of teachers make it a winning choice for us. For the last 10 years, our children have benefitted from the love, dedication, and experience of these seasoned teachers. The Carden Method for reading, memorization, classic literature, and required presentations have strengthened their minds and stretched their work ethic in lasting ways. Above all, I am grateful for the accountability my children feel for their work and their character. They are held to high standards and, because they know they are seen and loved, they are highly motivated to rise to the occasion. To quote a 6th grade teacher, 'I promise you: They will fly.' Indeed they have." ![IMG\_3398](https://www.highlandschristianschool.com/hubfs/IMG_3398.jpg) Parent Beth Emerson [![5296499\_fb\_facebook\_facebook logo\_icon](https://www.highlandschristianschool.com/hubfs/5296499_fb_facebook_facebook%20logo_icon.png)](https://facebook.com/highlandschristianschool) #### Follow us on Facebook [FOLLOW »](https://facebook.com/highlandschristianschool) [![Instagram\_logo\_2016.svg](https://www.highlandschristianschool.com/hubfs/Instagram_logo_2016.svg.png)](https://instagram.com/highlandschristianschool) #### Follow along on Instagram [FOLLOW »](https://instagram.com/highlandschristianschool) 721 Easton Road, Dallas, TX, 75218 | [office@highlandschristianschool.com](mailto:office@highlandschristianschool.com) | [214.973.9209](tel:214.973.9209) © 2025 Highlands Christian School, a 501c3 organization. | All rights reserved | [Privacy Policy](https://www.highlandschristianschool.com/privacy-policy?hsLang=en)
