Hampden Dubose Academy

Po Box 639, Zellwood, FL, 32798-0327 -

School Notes Overview:

Hampden DuBose Academy was founded in 1934 in Columbia, South Carolina. Dr. and Mrs. Pierre Wilds DuBose envisioned a school that would train and nurture young people in the “fear and admonition of the Lord.” They sought to train Christian leaders in every area of the students’ lives--spiritually, academically, physically, and socially. A year later, the boarding school was moved to Orlando, Florida, where it remained until 1943. At that time the Lord miraculously provided an ideal setting for this “educating for eternity” in the form of the Laughlin Estate in Zellwood, Florida. It continued until 1980, when the boarding school was closed and a day school open based upon the same spiritual principles and high academic standards. The purpose of HDA is to train and develop young people in the ways and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, to lead them to have a personal relationship with Him as Savior, and to have Him abide in them as the living Lord. HDA recognizes Jesus Christ as its foundation for being. Jesus Christ is the source of all truth and one must know Christ before knowing truth. The Bible is man’s source for discovering truth and is the revelation of God to man. From Scripture we obtain knowledge about children and the teacher’s obtain direction, discernment, and insight into instruction with God’s perspective. HDA is committed to the pursuit of academic excellence and is designed to promote the development of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and clear Biblical thinking....
