Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in Hilger Higher Learning. Years ago Carlee Hilger dreamed of teaching Science to a group of children who had a desire to study, for the sake of learning. She found this group of children in the homeschool community within the surrounding Chattanooga area. In 1998, Hilger Higher Learning began with 45 students, 4 Science classes, and one excited teacher. Today HHL offers over 30 exciting courses and serves more than 200 families through 14 amazing teachers.
Carlee’s dream became a reality: teaching motivated students from quality families with an enthusiasm for learning. We would like for your child to experience the reality of the Hilger Higher Learning environment:
1. Excellent curriculum with a Biblical focus
2. Stimulating social interaction with high caliber peers
3. Additional healthy accountability to a source outside of the home
4. College preparatory assessment from qualified teachers
Philosophy
Hilger Higher Learning is led by qualified teachers committed to supporting your home education through a variety of courses. It is our goal to reinforce the Biblical values being taught at home while providing a quality education. Although the parent is not the teacher of the courses we offer, the parent maintains authority over their child's learning and is responsible for holding their child accountable for completed assignments and preparing for tests/quizzes/ labs. As teachers, we simply serve as a support cast for the parents who have chosen to educate their child through the home.
Vision
Hilger Higher Learning aims to support the continuing education of home school children in the greater Chattanooga area, through a variety of classes based on a Biblical worldview. Our classes are designed to supplement the home-education process, while you and your child still have the freedom and flexibility home education provides; we are merely a support to what you are doing in the home. |
