- In scripture, God gave the mandate for educating children to parents, not schools. So what is the role of a Christian school? Our mission is to partner with parents, supporting them in the calling God gave to shape the minds and hearts of their children. We`d love to invite you to campus so we can talk with you personally, or to visit our website (www.hamptonpark.school) to see why Love Lives Here!

My children love Hampton Park! They went to public school from K-8th grade. They were not happy about leaving their friends in public school. We researched and toured other Christian schools in the area before choosing Hampton Park. Within two weeks of attending HP, my children were telling me that they liked it there and that they had already learned more than they did the year before in public school. They like all of their teachers, and they have made lifelong friends. They are involved in sports at Hampton Park. One of them confessed to me that a private Christian school was definitely the way to go for education. I see Christ in the faculty, staff, and students at HP and thank God for bringing us to this amazing school.

I researched several Christian schools for my daughter this past year. I wanted a school with high academic ratings, gifted teachers, and a Biblically based curriculum, but the most important criterion for me, was that my daughter be surrounded by genuinely Godly people. Dr. Priest, Mrs. Murr, Mrs. Shoemake, of the administration staff, along with teachers, Miss Shaw, Mrs. Wynn. Mr. Lehman, Mr. Thompson, and Mrs. Rivera, to name a few, are those such people. All parents want their children to succeed in whatever career path they may choose, but the most defining trait of a person is their character, their core values and beliefs, which are based in faith. These administrators and teachers share God's message of grace by encouraging integrity, Godly principles, and critical thinking, all while pursuing God's best for their students. Hampton Park Christian School is a wonderful blessing to both students and parents!

HPCS is truly a wonderful school. My children are thriving here! The teachers really care, the facilities are top-notch, and I couldn't be happier with the atmosphere.
If you're looking for a school with strict rules and over-reaching expectations, this is not your place. However, if you're looking for a school that cares about the hearts of students, then you should at least stop by campus and check it out for yourself.
