Elementary (K-5th)

Growing in Wisdom, Strength, and Faith

Elementary students at HCA grow in independence, character, and curiosity as they build strong academic foundations rooted in biblical truth. This is a time of joyful discovery and deeper understanding of who they are in Christ.

We help your Elementary student become...

    • A Confident Reader

      Engaging with stories, Scripture, and informational texts.

    • A Deep Thinker

      Asking questions, solving problems, and making connections.

    • A Growing Disciple

      Praying, worshiping, and memorizing Scripture as faith takes root.

    • A Respectful Classmate

      Learning to collaborate, encourage others, and build friendships.

    • A Bold Performer

      Growing in confidence through music, speaking, and creative expression.

    • An Enthusiastic Rejoicer

      Celebrating God’s goodness and others’ success with a heart of gratitude.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

A Day in the Life: From Wonder to Wisdom

Each day is designed to meet students where they are and help them grow into who God created them to be. Whether they're just beginning in Kindergarten or growing in independence by 5th grade, our students are known, loved, and deeply engaged. Here's a glimpse of what life feels like inside our elementary classroom, rooted in faith, filled with joy, and pointing always toward purpose.
