School Notes
- A Christian school is to develop more than just the mind and body of a child. As children of God, we are led by the Spirit (Rom 8:14); therefore, it is necessary to develop the Spirit as well. Here at Hampton Christian Academy we work to develop the spiritual side through Biblically-grounded curriculum in a safe environment. We develop the mind through academic rigor and small class sizes. And we develop the body through physical education, clubs, and athletics. We have the responsibility of growing students academically, but more importantly partnering with families to discover and develop the innate gifts and abilities of students to prepare them for wherever God calls them.
