MISSION Heartland Christian Academy’s mission is excellence in teaching academics in a Christian environment. Through the vision and guidance of Dr. Gary Smith, this K-3 through 12th grade school has grown from a small circle of students in 1991, to a thriving campus that imparts dignity and esteem to each student. With the Holy Bible as our foundation for learning, Heartland Christian Academy focuses on the vital areas of academics, self-discipline, respect for others, spiritual growth, respect for authority, a patriotism for God and country. OUR GOAL The PRIMARY GOAL of providing quality Christian education at Heartland Christian Academy is the development of Godly character. HCA recognizes that the teaching of God’s commandments is itself a command given by god first and foremost to parents as indicated in Deuteronomy 6:7…. “And thou shalt teach them (commandments of the Lord) diligently unto thy children, and thou shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house….”The Christian school, in addition to hone and church, is a place where the nurturing process of Christian education occurs. The SECOND GOAL of Heartland Christian Academy is to function as an outreach to the children, leading families to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ.” (II Timothy 3:15) OUR PHILOSOPHY The foundation of Christian education is the Word of God. From God’s Word, the Biblical principals stand against the godless philosophies of humanism, materialism, and situational ethics. (Collosians 2:8) Christian education is fist and foremost the responsibility of the Christian home. Heartland Christian Academy endeavors to assist the home in this process, rather than substitute for what should occur in the home. The school then acts in cooperation with the home and the church to produce the Christ-likeness in its students. The home and the church must contribute to student growth, by establishing attitudes which encourage respect, integrity, and self-discipline. The success of the student is therefore dependant upon the student, the home, the school and the church. However, the ultimate responsibility for the Christian educations of the children remains with the parents. CURRICULUM |
