WELCOME TO HCA ELEMENTARY Dear Parents, Please accept our invitation to explore a unique educational opportunity. Visit Heritage Christian Academy and you’ll understand why our families feel so at home here. Let us show you our passion for educating children in a nurturing Christ-centered environment. We approach everything we do from a Christ-centered, gospel-oriented perspective. Our point of reference is the reality of the eternal, uncreated, triune God revealed in Holy Scripture as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who created all things, sustains all things, and is restoring all things to their intended purpose through the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ. This means not only that we teach the Bible, but also that we teach every subject through the lens of a biblical worldview. We value the importance of focusing on the fundamentals, which are the building blocks for learning. Students enter education with individual strengths and weaknesses, and our role is to encourage and build areas of strength in each student. Our calm, focused classrooms are Christ-centered, creating vibrant learning communities for every scholar and a nurturing atmosphere where academic excellence is achieved. Providing a caring environment helps foster a love of learning in our children and this attitude reflects God’s grace. Christian education should seek to develop Disciples of Christ who love the Lord God with all [their] heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). Please take the time to look at our Culture of Kindness. Educating children at HCA brings people together. Parents unite in their journey to raise their children, and in sharing the goal to educate godly students, we build strong relationships among Christian families and staff. At HCA, we desire to build young hearts and minds for a legacy of kingdom service. Christian education is concerned with the whole child: to bring the whole child to God through Christ and to aid in subsequent growth in that new relationship. It also seeks to give the whole child training for a productive life in our world. Blessings in Christ, Kathy Sievert Associate Head of School/Elementary Principal If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us via email or call us at 913-681-7622. We look forward to meeting you!
