Hunter Classical Christian School

Welcome to The Hunter School! We are excited to introduce you to how we challenge the mind, nourish the spirit, and develop the whole child.

Hunter Classical Christian School is a private school serving grades K-8 located in Richmond's near west end. The goal of HCCS is to challenge the mind, nourish the spirit, and develop the whole child using classical education methodology in a positive environment that fosters a love of learning and lays the foundation for academic success. We believe the family is the fundamental building block o

f a healthy society. Our vision calls for a partnership between the school, the child, and the family. When parents and the school share the same core values, the net result is solid character development for the child and a strengthening of the whole family.

At Hunter, Easter reminds us of the hope, joy, and new life we have through Jesus Christ. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we give thanks for the promise that light overcomes darkness and life triumphs over death.

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.’” — John 11:25

Wishing our Hunter families a blessed Easter filled with peace, joy, and the hope of Christ. ✝

When children are introduced to quality literature at a young age, they learn to delight in good stories and often develop a lifelong love of reading. At Hunter, our teachers enjoy guiding students through books that challenge the mind, shape virtue, and cultivate a love for what is true, good, and beautiful.

This month, our students are exploring a rich variety of texts. Kindergarteners proudly share that their main book is the Bible. First graders are enjoying classic fairy tales like "The Gingerbread Boy" and "Cinderella", while second graders are reading "Stuart Little" and bringing the story to life through creative projects.

Older students continue to grow as thoughtful readers—third graders are discussing themes in "The Sign of the Beaver," fourth graders are retelling the adventures of Robin Hood, and fifth graders are memorizing "Paul Revere’s Ride". Sixth graders are beginning "The Aeneid for Boys & Girls", and our Upper School students are diving into Shakespeare’s "Julius Caesar," even performing soliloquies and scenes in class.

At Hunter, reading is more than an assignment—it’s an opportunity to wonder, think deeply, and grow in wisdom.
