She then continued her academic studies at law school, before her love of teaching led her back
The Value of Dwelling on God’s Past Faithfulness
19 Nov 2024
As parents, Thanksgiving provides the perfect opportunity to show our children the true hope and joy found in giving thanks—even in seasons when we don’t feel particularly thankful. We might not associate giving thanks with sacrifice, but the Bible and history provide ample instances when giving thanks was coupled with great tribulation and sacrifice. After a divisive election season and tragic natural disasters, it feels all the more appropriate to dig deeper into what genuine,
What Kind of Screen Time Is Actually Good for Children?
15 Oct 2024
We have all seen the headlines: Younger generations are facing record-high rates of anxiety, depression and loneliness. And unsurprisingly, research pins much of the blame on teen screen time. Despite owning pocket-sized devices connecting us to anyone around the world 24/7, people have never felt lonelier. As parents and educators, this is troubling. God designed us to know others and to be known. Since 2014, we have offered a classical Christian education online—on purpose. We
The Joy of Partnering with Charleston Classical School
27 Sep 2024
During her commute to work, Wilson Hill co-founder and former teacher Dr. Marie Owens noticed many children loitering outside during school hours. Perplexed and concerned that so many children regularly skipped classes, she started researching her city’s public schools. She was shocked at the statistics she found. Her local school system was failing students, and Black students were disproportionately impacted. In 2017, 80% of Black public school students in her city tested lower than their
Meet Wilson Hill’s 2024 Valedictorian and Salutatorian

Schools can make lofty claims about their educational philosophy and its long-term impact on students, but the true test of an educational model is the students it produces. That’s why we believe one of the best ways to learn about Wilson Hill Academy is through our graduates.

Life After WHA: Meet Our Alumni, Part 2
23 Jul 2024
Last month, we published a blog post about life after attending Wilson Hill Academy. In that post, we shared reflections from Wilson Hill graduates on the impact of a classical education rooted in Scripture. It is evident from their experiences that our students leave Wilson Hill with a love of what is beautiful, good and true. The disciplines they learn as they study God’s word, read classical texts and learn about our world through the
How AP Biology Points Students to the Character of God
24 Jun 2024
Can you imagine studying a subject as rich and technical as biology but restricting yourself to a narrow ideology that ignores truths about the way the natural world works? If this sounds familiar to you, you’ve probably heard mainstream educators commenting on science in Christian schools. “Beware of learning science in a bubble!” they caution. But who is really learning in a bubble? When science is taught out of context by ignoring the true story
Life After WHA: Meet Our Alumni
11 Jun 2024
What are students being trained to love—and to what end? When we addressed that question (and the merits of a classical Christian education) in a previous blog post, we concluded that Wilson Hill students are trained to love what is beautiful, good and true—absolutes rooted in the triune God of Scripture. Above all, we want to raise up men and women who live fruitful lives in the service of the Kingdom of Christ. The unique
