Horizon Christian Academy
School Notes Overview:
HCA is a Christ-centered, non-denominational, and service-oriented environment that seeks to assist parents in helping their children and young adults grow in His image. Our foundational scripture verse is Colossians 3:23. We believe it is important to help students learn to strive for excellence and grow as much as possible in all areas. We have implemented a Individual Performance Plan for each student which addresses growth goals in 4 critical growth areas. These are Spiritual, Academic, Social and Emotional and Physical. Parents and students set these and then our staff work as a team with the family to meet and exceed these growth goals for your student well rounded success. These meetings are referred to as an IPP . This is a wonderful opportunity to address all areas of challenge and strength in your students educational experience. We are blessed daily to see the Lord working in amazing ways in students and parents lives through our HCA Ministry. ...
