School Reviews

We have appreciated how well HCA prepared our daughter for admission and ongoing success at a selective university, the University of Minnesota. HCA has high academic standards and cares about character and biblical training - all very important to my husband and me. Our daughter had plenty of leadership development experiences, and the extra-curricular opportunities were plentiful! Band, orchestra, theatre, spring formal events, honor society, service projects, and well-trained sports teams with highly qualified coaches (including teams that have competed at the state level!) Thank you, Heritage Christian Academy! Please keep the high standards and biblical priority!
