Hillview College is a Government-assisted Presbyterian secondary school situated on the foothills of the Northern Range at the top of El Dorado Road in Tunapuna, Trinidad and Tobago. The motto Humani Nihil Alienum is a Latin phrase that when translated means 'Nothing concerning humanity is alien to me'. Expressed in a positive way it means, 'I am interested in everything concerning mankind.' It is an all-boys school (girls have been admitted to 6th Form since 1992, however) and is a seven year school that prepares students for CXC/O-Level examinations at 5th Form and A-Level Examinations at 6th Form. It offers education in the areas of the sciences, business studies and modern studies. It is considered by alumni to be a prestigious school and on occasion wins National Scholarships from the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, which are awarded based on outstanding A-Level results. In 2011 The Hillview College Senior Cricket Team swept all three titles in InterCol Secondary Schools Cricket League.
Famous quotes containing the word college:
“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
