For Your Information:
Parents seeking to enroll a student must bring the student's academic information for both the current school year and previous school year. The admissions administrator will use the information to assess the student's academic aptitude and to identify possible problems. All students admitted to the school are expected to perform at or above grade level. If the student has been enrolled in a special program, the administrator will contact the student's previous school to ascertain past conduct, academic progress, and long-term potential. If there are indications of discipline problems, suspensions, or repeated absences; contact with the student's previous school will be made for clarification.
Upon completion of the designated steps, parents are notified as to whether or not their child has been accepted for admission into HCA. Students can be accepted with conditions, for example: summer school, tutoring, grade level retention.
Students who have been accepted must have their student files complete with all properly submitted enrollment forms and financial accounts current in order to begin the first day.
Harvest Christian Academy is school board operated. The board is comprised of parents and grandparents. HCA began in the spring of 1993 with the meetings of several parents concerned about the education of their children. By the summer, a small group of parents made a commitment that through prayer and dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ, the new school would meet in the fall. In August of 1993, HCA began with Kindergarten through third grade and has been in existence for over 31 years. We are an inter-denominational K - 12 school. Our curriculum is distinctively Christian using Abeka and Bob Jones University materials. Our institution is accredited through the International Christian Accrediting Association (ICAA).
