Bible School

1. Make an account and submit a registration form with the application fee.
2. Our registrar will email you with the next application steps (testimony, references, recent photos, transcript, and financial proof for non-U.S. citizens).

There is no application deadline. Applications are accepted until student accommodations are full. Recently, we have been filling up by early Spring. Prospective students are encouraged to apply by Spring. That said, applications may be submitted until the semester start date if space is available.

Many Christian colleges and universities have accepted credit for courses completed here. His Hill is not an accredited school, so there is no guarantee that other schools will accept transfer credits. Columbia International University, Crown College, Montana Bible College, Boyce College of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Oak Hills Christian College have all developed a transfer agreement with His Hill.

Some students have received up to a full year of credit at a Christian university for attending the first-year program at His Hill. Most schools will decide if they will give credit on a case-by-case basis after evaluating the student’s transcript and syllabi from His Hill.

Students beginning in the fall must be at least 18 years old by October 31.

The student body typically averages between 60 and 65 students each semester.

The amount listed on the fee sheet covers room & board, tuition, books, the fall missions trip, secondary medical insurance, and airport transportation at the start and end of each term. Laundry machines are $0.75 per load.

International students must pay for the priority mailing of their I-20 (usually around $30, but more if expediting is needed), which can be paid via credit card.

There will be an additional cost for those wanting to participate in one of our optional spring break trips. The trips range from $300 to $2,000, depending on the nature and destination. We will announce the specific trips toward the end of the fall semester.

Yes. It is possible to attend either the fall or winter/spring semester, though we encourage students to attend the entire year. If spots are filling up, priority is given to those applying for the whole school year. The fall semester courses primarily include Old Testament book studies, and New Testament courses are mainly taught in the winter/spring semester. The full year of attendance provides a comprehensive study of the Bible and allows time for relationships on campus to develop more deeply.

Non-U.S. citizens will need to complete a financial proof form as part of their application. After acceptance, His Hill issues international students an F1 I-20 form. After this, an I-901 form must be completed, and a $200 fee must be paid online by the student to immigration.

The I-20 form must be presented to border officials upon entry into the United States.

International students from all countries other than Canada also need to apply for a student visa at the American embassy in their country.

The San Antonio International Airport. We provide free transportation from the airport at 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM on arrival day. We also provide transportation to the airport at the end of each term. Please contact the office to schedule a ride. Airport pickup/drop off at unscheduled times is $50. View our important dates page to see what day and time you should schedule your flights.

We do offer some financial aid. However, this aid depends on how much money we receive in donations. Requests for assistance are made via a scholarship request form. Students should have attended for at least one semester.

Students are encouraged to ask their home church, family, and friends to pray about their financial needs. We have often seen the Lord supply and provide for students once they have asked their faith communities to pray for them. Even if you can’t cover the entire year’s cost, we would encourage you to come for the fall and see if the Lord would provide for the winter/spring, too.

Students may choose to attend any local church body. Transportation is made available to Boerne Bible Church, where many His Hill staff attend. Charlie, our Director, preaches there most Sunday mornings. An evening service and fellowship time is held at His Hill for students and staff on the first Sunday of each month.

While having a car isn’t necessary, many students who bring one enjoy the added freedom and flexibility it offers. Our campus is located just two miles from the small town of Comfort, and within a 20–30 minute drive of three larger cities. San Antonio is only 35 minutes away. Weekly transportation is provided to a local church and Walmart, and we occasionally organize weekend outings to explore the surrounding area.

You’re welcome to bring a bike, though it’s not required. The nearby town of Comfort is just two miles away—an easy ride—with a library and several inviting coffee shops. His Hill also has mountain biking trails, and Flat Rock Ranch, a well-known mountain biking destination, is just outside of Comfort.

Yes, wireless internet is available at scheduled times in designated areas.

Laundry facilities are available in the basement of the main girls’ dorm and in a separate building for the boys. All machines are coin-operated and cost $0.75 per load. Change is available in the office.

Family and friends are welcome to visit! Motel rooms and guest houses may be available on campus. Contact our office for availability and pricing. Friends and siblings may also choose to stay in the dorm for up to three nights for $20 per night (if space is available).

We ask that guests not visit during the last week of school each semester. Guests are allowed Wednesday night and Thursday night of the last week of school but must leave Friday when students depart. Due to the larger size of our student body, we are allowing two guests per student for the closing banquet and graduation ceremony. Please get in touch with the office for closing week lodging options and graduation meal reservations.

In early July, a list of students and contact info will be emailed so that students can make travel arrangements and connect with other students before school begins.

Students will need supplies for taking notes in class. We recommend bringing a binder, lined paper, a highlighter, and pens. Some of these items are available for purchase in our bookstore. Textbooks and a Bible (NASB 1995) are included in the tuition and will be provided to students on registration day.

Students often spend their afternoons and weekends catching up on homework, hanging out with friends, organizing student-led events, or exploring the local area.

On-campus activities include canoeing, swimming, horseback riding, fishing, basketball (indoor and outdoor), sand volleyball, indoor volleyball, pickleball (indoor & outdoor), tennis, and access to a weight room. There are also trails for biking, hiking, and running. Our climbing tower and ropes course are available several times throughout the year.

In town, students enjoy visiting Comfort’s coffee shops. For a broader range of activities, the larger cities of Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg are just 20–30 minutes away.

Students are able to ride when accompanied by our barn manager. Free trail rides and vaulting are offered a few times a month.

We don’t offer any work-study positions on campus, but some students choose to work in the nearby town during their time here. If you decide to get a job, we recommend finding something flexible that won’t interfere with your class or homework time.

Please note: international students on an F-1 visa are not allowed to work off campus under current regulations.

His Hill doesn’t affiliate with any denomination. We follow a conservative evangelical doctrine. Many of our students come from non-denominational Bible churches, Evangelical Free churches, Alliance churches, and Mennonite Brethren churches.

His Hill hosts a Thanksgiving Conference each year, so students do not have a break during Thanksgiving. Instead, they attend special teaching sessions and help staff welcome and serve our conference guests. It’s always a great time of fellowship with both current and former students!
