Our Purpose: Minister to local families by providing a Christian academic alternative.
Our Mission: The mission of Highway Christian Academy is to support families by providing a distinctly Christian education that equips students to strive for academic excellence, acknowledge and embrace Biblical truths, follow Christ, model Christ-like character in all areas of their lives, and develop a Christian worldview for the glory of God.
Our Vision: To build a Christ centered school that encourages strong academics, strong Christian character, strong faith in Christ, all which are emphasized in our service to God. We seek to foster a nurturing, mutually supportive school community of students who pursue learning and Christian character enthusiastically, parents who wholeheartedly support the school's mission, and caring, qualified Christian faculty and staff who are committed to teaching Godly principles and investing in the lives of students.

I love the good Shepherd Pre-school. My daughter has improved so much since she has attended the school. My Son is also joining this school academic year. I love their chapel service and Christian centered approach with the kids and all teachers are very kind and nurturing to the kiddos.

God-focused. This past school year, 2022-2023 was our first year with The Good Shepherd Preschool, and absolutely YES. Christ-centered and nurturing environment. This school year began with a new director of the school, Amy Fabiano, and she has given this school a huge academic push along with making sure these children have christian focus, nutritional snacks, and develop their social skills. The teachers have been very open to any concerns I have about my child. "Potty training" helped assist my daughter when needed. Comforting her in the mornings for drop off and creating a relaxing environment for nap time. Weather permitting the children are outside every day on the playground or in the gym. This school is in its 3rd year going on 4th in the fall and I am forever grateful they have opened their doors. As a parent you want the best for your kids, though no school or person is without flaws, I have yet to have an issue arise that wasn't addressed quickly and in the best interest of both staff and child. I would highly recommend the school to anyone of young children that would like a home away from home.
