Welcome to Heritage Christian School – South Campus offering grades 6-12
HCS prides itself in our closed and secure campus.
Our themed Bible verse is located on each campus as we strive to fulfill our mission to “impact the world for Christ.”
The Legacy Fountain represents the history and legacy of Hillcrest Christian School, Los Angeles Baptist, and what we have continued to create at Heritage Christian School since 2012.
Heritage Christian School’s mission is to glorify God by providing a rigorous academic program from a Biblical perspective, and by partnering with parents to provide their children with a firm spiritual foundation to impact the world for Christ.

At the very heart of our choir is worship. Jesus Christ is at the center of our very purpose. It is our desire to be atmosphere changers everywhere we sing. If the music has not “moved” us, it will not move the audience.
HCS Band Program (offered at both the middle and high school level), challenges students with playing music of varying degrees as well as learning principles of music theory, applicable music history and fundamentals of music composition.
Our Middle School and High School Athletic Department offer a variety of sports and work together to provide quality experiences for our students. We encourage the growth of talent, character, and discipline.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
We believe the Lord has gifted each young person and coach in unique ways that can be enjoyed and developed fully through the sport of their choice.
It is the Mission of our Athletic Department to provide memorable experiences through the building of character, teamwork, and athletic ability.
Heritage Christian School provides coaches who are strong believers in Christ and examples to their players while creating character-driven and coachable athletes.
Being committed to your sport, to your coach, to your team, to your school, and most of all, to Christ is a key to spiritual and athletic success. (Pictured: Student Parking Lot and Athletic Field)
A purpose of HCS Athletics is to have respect for authority, learn to work as a team, and develop a sense of responsibility. (Pictured: Athletic Weight Room)
“Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.” 1 Corinthians 9:25
It is the Mission of Heritage Christian’s Athletic Program to honor God with our actions, words, and talents both on and off the playing field.
It is our expectation of our students to be a positive representation of Heritage Christian School and the athletic program, promote and uphold school spirit, and demonstrate good sportsmanship.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Colossians 3:23
