OUR HISTORY

Twenty-five 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 greater Chattanooga area. In 1998, Hilger Higher Learning began with 45 students, 4 science classes, and one excited teacher. As more and more homeschool families asked for Chattanooga homeschool classes, Hilger quickly grew while maintaining Biblical integrity and academic excellence. Today, Hilger serves over 425 families through 25 amazing faculty and staff while offering 60+ exciting courses and workshops for elementary, middle and high school students. We also offer a host of extra-curricular activities! Carlee’s dream is still alive and real: teaching motivated students from Christian families who possess an enthusiasm for learning.

“We are so thankful for ALL of you at Hilger Higher Learning. Our daughter has had such a wonderful experience with all of her classes. I know that she would not be doing nearly as well as she is if it were not for all of you and the love that is shown towards learning and towards the children.”

“Thank you for the great service you provide. Thank you for the care you give to selecting fine teachers. Thank you for creating a tool that has so blessed our family. It is hard to imagine our homeschool experience without the resource of Hilger Higher Learning.”
