Hendersonville Christian Academy

The mission statement:
The mission statement of Hendersonville Christian Academy states succinctly the primary focus of the school’s academic program. “Our goal is to assist the home and the church in teaching students the Word of god and the skills necessary to live a productive Christian life.” This broad statement serves as the “litmus test” for all we do at the school.
More specifically, the school labors to conform students to the image of Christ. Luke 2:52 declares Christ’ character as a youth. “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” We see in this passage that the Son of God continued to develop academically (wisdom), physically (stature), spiritually (favor with God), and socially (favor with man) as he grew to manhood on earth. Students at Hendersonville Christian Academy will mature academically, physically, spiritually, and socially. Objectives for each of these four goal areas are listed on the following pages.
Crusader Kids:
HCA's Preschool Program is called "Crusader Kids." Our program is designed for children to have fun while learning. Children are grouped in classes according to their age and abilities. The small teacher/student ratios contribute to a loving and caring classroom atmosphere.
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade:
Elementary school serves children in kindergarten through grade five. The curriculum is designed to provide a Biblically-centered, challenging program taught in an age-appropriate manner. Consideration is given to the development and nurture of the whole child – spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially. The elementary school at Hendersonville Christian Academy is filled with warm and caring, Christian educators whose responsibility it is to integrate a Biblically-based education into the lives of our students.
The core subjects of reading, writing, and arithmetic are rounded out with lessons in science, history, health, and Bible. In addition, our students attend classes in computer, art, and music. Students in third through fifth grade attend physical education class two times per week. Classroom experiences are supplemented by a variety of teaching aids, including hands-on activities, special reports, and field trips.
Sixth through Eighth Grade:
Middle school students study Bible, math, science, history, literature, grammar, computer technology, geography, physical education, and the fine arts. Our teachers challenge students to develop critical thinking and logical habits of mind. Our challenging curriculum is committed to the success of every student as we strive to prepare each student for high school.
Our instruction is personalized, classes are small, and our expectation is that every student can succeed.
Teachers use a variety of methods to assess student work and learning. Formal reporting of grades, written academic reports and parent conferences keep students and their families informed about progress and prognosis.
