Small christian school that really feels like a 'Family'. My kids are a full year ahead of public schools academicly, and their spiritual walk has grown tremendously since transferring in. We are so blessed to have found this school, wish we would have came here first before spending so many years at the other,larger christian school up the block. What a difference being in a smaller school makes on a child's spiritual life. Learning to serve the Lord, pray and journal each day, and give back to the community are just as important as academics. Thank you HCA for what you are teaching our children. There is no price you can put on what they are learning here!

A great Christian structure with wonderful teachers who truly care for each student's individual needs and success. I can not say enough about the faculty and the outstanding education my son has received there.

Due to an increase in my work hours, I had to stop homeschooling and start looking for a school. HCA had everything I was looking for and more. From the curriculum, ABEKA (which is what I used as a homeschooler) to the small class sizes to the all Christian faculty. I thank the Lord everyday for HCA.

My son has been going to this school for three years. It has been a blessing for him and us. I am most thank-ful for the foundation that he is building and the friends that he is making. The staff and teachers are excellent. I like the fact that the school encourages good work/school habits. This will carry my son far in school. Check this school out! You will like what you see.

Wonderful, small Christian school. Progressive A Bekka Curriculum, A++ teachers, and a super-charged young Pastor. Small class size = more teacher time! Many Willow families are here too! Check it out before you register anywhere else! A refreshing return to our own youth/school days! Great Library and computer lab too!

We began searching for a school when our oldest daughter was 2. We looked at other Christian schools in the area, Catholic schools, and other 'private' schools. We immediatley felt a sense of 'Home' when we walked into Highland Christian Academy. It was like stepping back in time to our own childhood, yet it had all the modern day advances, like a computer lab & cool library with bean bag chairs. There is a great teacher to student ratio, my daughter had 11 kids in her Kindergarten class and was reading by Christmas of Kindergarten! We have 3 of our children in school here now, the oldest in 6th Grade. This year they will go serve at a Christian Workcamp, and 7th/8th graders go on a Missions Trip! I am excited to see my children learn to love and serve the Lord at an early age here. Come see it!

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
