HCA has been a blessing to our family. The school has an astonishing selection of course offerings, for its size. Tuition rates are affordable, and the educational value far exceed the financial cost. HCA partners with community resources, allowing our child to compete academically with much larger institutions, in an atmosphere that's not overwhelming. I definitely recommend HCA to families looking for quality education , in a God-centered environment.

Hope Christian Academy has been a huge blessing for my son. The teachers are amazing, they truly care about your child and want them to succeed. The communication with administrators and teachers is outstanding. It was the best decision my son made to switch to HCA. He knew right away when we toured the school as an entering freshman that HCA would be great fit for him. We are so thankful for HCA!

This school has been a huge blessing to my two children. Their teachers knew them as immature freshmen up to maturing near-adults, guiding them as they went. They have been super active in a lot of extracurriculars that they would not have otherwise had access to. And ultimately, my kids are happy to go to school, which means a lot.

HCA doesn't treat you like a student. They treat you like family. They care about you, they want you to go to college, they have great programs, and the best part is that they teach you about God's Word

As a teacher, I know firsthand that Hope Christian Academy is an excellent place for students. The teachers are all highly trained educators who all share the same Christian faith. The low student-to-teacher ratio allows for more individualized attention but also provides a multitude of opportunities for involvement in extracurriculars and student organizations. It is a joy to serve at this school as we share the love of Jesus and see young learners grow daily in their faith and grow into the leaders of the future.

We are so pleased with Hope Christian Academy. The teachers and staff are incredible and thoughtful, and they genuinely care about the students, both spiritually and academically. I highly recommend HCA for middle school & high school education. It's a great community to be a part of.

The faculty at Huron Valley Lutheran is dedicated to making high school an enjoyable experience for each individual student. They go above and beyond to meet each student where they are academically, socially, and spiritually. My 2 daughters are well prepared for life after high school and I am looking forward to my younger 2 children attending in the near future.

HVL is an excellent high school. The close teacher-to-student ratio allows students to grow academically at an accelerated rate. The parent involvement at the school creates an incredible sense of community between faculty and families. Students leave here ready to attend any college of their choosing. Every student and family I've met who goes here praise the school.

I love it here, the small environment makes it so much easier to learn. The teachers care so much about the students. I honestly believe that I am getting the best possible education. I think that the small classes and having a small school in general make learning so much easier.
