Hillcrest International School
- Hillcrest International School
"Hillcrest International School" (HIS) is a Christian K-12 educational institution serving the international community in and around Papua, Indonesia. The student population of the school currently numbers around 150 students, approximately 70 of which are in the high school alone. The school is a member of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and offers a standard US curriculum-based course of study.
Outdoor Education
One of the school's trademark activities is a program known as Outdoor Education (OE). During the spring semester, the entire high school student body and a number of the faculty travel to a remote location somewhere on the island of Papua. For two weeks the students and faculty serve the local people of the area by doing community service projects, hosting kid's clubs, and leading worship services in local churches. In addition the students are encouraged to interact with the local people and learn about their culture, history, and society. Upon their return to HIS, each student writes an anthropology paper based upon their notes and their experiences during the two weeks.
