There is a clear, critical difference between the Biblical and secular viewpoints on a subject.
Even though the facts of knowledge are identical for both, Hope Christian Academy teaches that no subject can be taught in the totality of its truth when the Creator is denied or ignored.
Knowledge is purified by sound academic education and a wholesome activity program which are integrated with a Biblical viewpoint.
Hope Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
