Personnel Information

Admission

Heritage Christian Academy admits students of any sex, race, color or national and ethnic origins to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex or national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, and athletic and other school-administrated programs.

Accreditation

Heritage Christian Academy is currently accredited for grades K-9 with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Accreditation is being vigorously pursued for the remaining high school grade levels. Ultimately, HCA will have dual accreditation with ACSI and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCACS). This is the regional accrediting body responsible for accrediting colleges, universities, and public and private elementary schools and junior/high schools. HCA has projected Spring of 2012 to be a fully K-12 accredited school both through ACSI and NCACS.

Academics

Heritage Christian Academy believes that every student should be transformed as a result of our educational program. An education that centers on ideas or facts alone is incomplete; a true education must ultimately elicit action from the student. An appropriate curriculum is necessary to help develop students equipped to engage and transform culture. HCA offers a curriculum in two distinct graduation paths that will produce transformed students equipped to transform culture.
