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:
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
