Overview
Mission
Serving Christ is the first part and foundation of HCCA's Mission Statement. Serving Christ means to follow Jesus and to serve one another as Jesus served. At HCCA we serve Christ with our heart, mind, soul, and strength every day. We do this by beginning each day with a time of prayer, scripture, and a devotional. We also have chapel time one day every week. Our goal is to prepare all of our students for a life of Serving Christ. HCCA is a non-denominational school dedicated to strengthening families and providing top-notch education for our students. We offer Pre-K through 8th grade. Carefully selected teachers provide classroom instruction and planning. Two or three days per week, depending on grade level, these teachers instruct students in a traditional classroom setting. On alternate days, parents follow teacher-planned lessons at home with their children, acting as private tutors. This model has proven time and again to be the "best of both worlds."
What it reported doing in 2024
Provide pre-k through 8th grade educational services for the community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
