About this school
Hillcrest School (formerly Hillcrest International School) is a private Christian college-preparatory school in Sentani, about 40 km from Jayapura in Papua. Its roots go back to 1958, when the Christian and Missionary Alliance opened Sentani International School for missionary children; an inter-mission high school called Hillcrest International School followed in 1987, the two merged under one board in 1995, and the name changed to Hillcrest School in 2014 after new government regulations.
The school serves children of expatriate workers with Christian organisations as well as Indonesian and other international students, with 146 students from Pre-1 to Grade 12. Instruction is in English and based on US curriculum standards, divided into elementary, middle and high school. High school students can take College Board AP courses, and the school uses MAP Growth and PSAT testing. It is accredited by WASC.
The campus covers more than 40 acres in the foothills of Mount Cyclops overlooking Lake Sentani. Facilities include a library, three indoor sports facilities, a soccer field, an auditorium, computer and science labs, drama, art and band rooms, a clinic and a dormitory.
