A great foundation for the future.
Harvest Christian Academy emphasizes a holistic educational approach that integrates diverse learning styles and activities while maintaining a solid foundation in Biblical teachings. We use the Abeka curriculum extensively in kindergarten, which is known for its rigorous academics rooted in Christian principles, including phonics-based reading and early cursive writing.
Our philosophy is that by nurturing and engaging students from an early age, they can achieve their full potential academically, spiritually, and personally, guided by the Holy Spirit and the principles of the Bible. This approach aims to create an environment where learning is not only enjoyable but also sets the stage for long-term success guided by Christian values.
