Spiritual Development
At our Upper School, spiritual development is at the heart of our mission: to raise generations of HCA graduates who will impact the world through strong Christian character and a profound biblical worldview. Students engage in daily devotions with teachers, participate in weekly chapel services, take part in the transformative Spiritual Emphasis Week each fall, and participate in other impactful fellowship, worship, and service opportunities throughout the school year.Our dedicated Bible classes, led by seminary-trained faculty, ensure students receive thorough theological insights from a reformed perspective. Complementing their education, students take part in service projects and a mentoring program for middle schoolers with 11th and 12th-grade leaders, fostering a spirit of community and leadership.We require our teachers to weave a biblical worldview into every subject, ensuring that students see the truth of Scripture reflected in all areas of study. We are dedicated to cultivating strong Christian leaders who are well-equipped to navigate the challenges of a lost world. -
