Why HCA? |

Why send your child to a Christian school? You are accountable to God for what your children are taught
in school. Proverbs 22:6 is a direct command to parents:
"Train up a child in the way he should go." What your children are
taught in school should be a direct extension of your parental views. Here are some
key reasons to consider Heritage Christian Academy.
Biblical Worldview HCA teachers bring to your child's classroom a Biblical worldview. In addition to being authoritative in their respective field, each teacher has accepted Jesus Christ as his/her personal Savior, and models Christ-like attitudes and actions - both inside and outside the classroom. All subjects are taught from a Christian perspective, a worldview that acknowledges God as both Creator and Sustainer of all that exists. The teachers put the Bible at the center of the curriculum and ask students to evaluate all they see in the world through the eyes of God. Obedience to our Lord In simple terms, God has revealed in Scripture how we are to live ... "obedience". Because we are made in God's image, and are loved by Him, HCA believes that He knows what's best for us. Nothing is more sensible than allowing His Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, to direct our principles for living, loving and learning. Adhering to these principles of "obedience" provides a learning environment that differs from that found in public education. Impressive Outcomes Christian schools offer a better level of training. There is no question about it. Standardized test scores are conclusive. The annual Standford Acheivement Test administed to first- through -eighth grade Christian school students in the western states shows students to be seven to nineteen months ahead of the national norm in reading, and seven to thirteen months ahead of the national norm in all subject areas. HCA is no exception. HCA graduates leave fully prepared for college, and - more importantly - life beyond academia. Over the years we've established a tradition of educational excellence (grants, scholarships, awards, and consistently high academic test scores). Compelling Value From our site and facility, to our most important assets - our teachers and staff - all of our God-given resources are invested with the goals of maximizing the effectiveness of your child's Christian education, at a reasonable cost. The result? Our tuition is both competitive and affordable. |
