My experience here at HCA has been amazing. From the people, to the teachings, to the environment it is just a great school to be apart of. I am so thankful for the opportunity to attend school here. The only change I would recommend is some of how the classical education is taught or handled.

I love HCA! it focuses on classical education, so learning is very hands on. The teachers are so kind and so helpful if you need help and are always willing to work with you. The student body is like one big family!

I came to HCA in the third grade. All of the students were very welcoming and eager to be your best friend. This welcoming atmosphere continues all through high school. The class sizes allow you to connect with your teacher and classmates. If I could change one thing, I would like to have more experienced teachers, especially for our harder classes.

The classes are challenging, and...

I attended HCA and left upon my freshman year of high school. Although this is a Christian school which is great, I felt that both the families of students there as well as the administration acted as though they were all competing to be the “best Christians,” which, in turn, created a toxic atmosph...

There are some nice people here, but overall, I cannot recommend HCA because it doesn't live up to its description. It's not truly classical. Copious amounts of busywork are misinterpreted for the "grammar stage" of the classical education model--with no emphasis on history, reading of the classics,...

I have 3 children that attend this school. When we moved to the area the students and staff were very welcoming and loving toward my children. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a Christ centered education. This school has been a wonderful blessing to us.
