Harvest Baptist Academy

Harvest Baptist Academy was formed so your children's education will occur in a Godly, Biblical environment, where your children can learn their place in the church, in the world, in society, and in your family.
Our dedicated staff and small class sizes ensure your children will get the individual attention they need to grow academically and spiritually.
Our curriculum is Bible-based so your children will understand their role in God's Creation, and how the various subjects and disciplines ultimately relate to, and reflect, God's truth as revealed in His Word.
Finally, our school exists to outfit your children with the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, and the shield of faith.
They will learn why the Bible is the basis of Christian truth and how to understand and relate to God's Word.
Questions concerning our enrollment policy may be directed to Pastor Charlie Rousey.

My child has attended HBA since Kindergarten and I cannot say enough good things about the school. The teachers are amazing. The time and effort they invest into educating the kids not only academically but also spiritually is unmatched. The love they have for not only my son but us as parents is so evident. My child has thrived at HBA. I highly recommend this school if a Christian education in a loving environment with high academic standards is what you desire.

Where to even start... We have two elementary age children who were attending a different private school when it abruptly closed without notice or warning. We were devastated, to say the least. Harvest Baptist was very close to our children's school, and based on location we decided to tour to see if this school would be a good fit for our children. During the tour, I knew this was the place my children belonged. The school is so clean, modern, fantastic chem lab, science programs, etc. The staff has been welcoming, top-notch, and extremely professional. The love our children feel here is very comforting, and the education is superb. We feel our children have excelled at their new school and are excited for them to be a graduate of the Harvest Baptist. The cost is extremely affordable and gave us the comfort of knowing not only were our children receiving a great education but a faith-based education as well. In today's world, this was a huge concern for us. Harvest Baptist checks all our boxes.

This is our 2nd year at Harvest Baptist, and my daughter loves it! I know my child is in a safe environment with a wonderful, caring staff. The teachers are amazing and truly take an interest in all their students. The high school students are so mannerly, and really seem to look out for the younger ones, which I very much appreciate. Overall, I could not be happier with the education she is receiving and would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a Christian-based education for their children.

This is our first year at Harvest Baptist, and we couldn't be happier. The school itself, (brick and mortar) is clean and well maintained. The atmosphere in the building is centered on Christ and that is exactly what we were looking for. My daughter loves it, and that is the bottom line for us as parents.

Our child has been attending HBA since Kindergarten. She is now in the middle school. Harvest provides an excellent academic experience with a very strong Biblical perspective, as well as providing extra-curricular activities. Their music and drama program is well above par. They provide many sports for a school this size. They are constantly working on improving the overall educational experience for each of the students. We are very satisfied with Harvest Baptist Academy.

Harvest Baptist Academy has helped our children develop the communication skills and the academic knowledge to be successful in the world around them. It is a Christian school that allows them to be in the word of God and gain the academic knowledge to apply in the future to be accountable for their actions. It is a safe environment with a wonderful, supportive Pastor as an administrator. I would highly recommend HBA for your child to grow spiritually and academically to be successful in life!

We have four children in the academy and we wouldn't send them anywhere else. The curriculum is great and the teachers truly care for each student. Equally important is the environment. There is a great spirit within the academy, and the staff work to continually show and teach love of Christ to all the students.
