Middle School
Are you looking for a positive Middle School experience for your child? Looking for a place where they can grow, explore, learn, and mature within a Biblical worldview? A place where they feel safe, wanted, and loved? A place to ask hard questions and receive Gospel-saturated answers? Come, allow your Middle School student to be planted in the rich soil of an HCA education.
An HCA Middle School experience is truly special. Our educators are professional teachers and subject matter experts, who are each devoted Christ-followers. They take mentoring their students seriously, and engage with students inside and outside of the classroom. It is not uncommon to see Mr. Curtis playing soccer during recess or Mrs. Gordon taking a stroll with a small group to look at the way God masterfully created the deciduous forest biome in which we live.
HCA Middle School students change classes for each of their subjects, and have recess every day! We value movement and brain breaks, and believe recess for Middle School students is essential to their education. As a school, we believe that children should have experiential learning opportunities and this is true even at our Middle School level. Middle Schoolers have Language Arts, Math, Science, History, Bible, Computer Science, Health, Outdoor Education, PE, Music, Visual Art, & Theater class. Two times a year we have Spiritual Emphasis Week, a week dedicated to each Middle School student’s relationship with the Lord & spiritual growth. A team of volunteers pour into our students, provide opportunities to play as well as ask hard questions, and engage with God’s Word more deeply.

Middle School can be a challenging time of life, but students (and parents!) don’t have to navigate those years without a road map. Being a student in HCA’s Middle School means both students and parents have guides, support, opportunities to explore and mature, intentional Christian community, and Gospel-saturated instruction.
