As parents, we all want the best for our children. We want them to have every opportunity possible to succeed and be happy in life. However, sometimes, making the best choices for our children can be difficult. One of the most significant decisions parents face is choosing the right school for their child.
With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to determine which one will provide the best education and environment for your child. Factors such as academic programs, class sizes, extracurricular activities, and safety all come into play when making this decision. Many families are opting for private education.

We are pleased to see our students demonstrating their faith in their communities during their time here and after graduation. One area where God’s work is evidenced in the lives of our students is in the personal testimonies of their experiences at HCA.

Choosing the right kind of schooling for your child is a significant and often difficult decision for many parents. On one side, homeschooling offers a highly personalized education tailored to a child’s unique needs, interests, and learning pace. It provides the flexibility to explore subjects in greater depth and allows for a learning schedule that can accommodate family dynamics, travel, and other activities.
Homeschooling can also create a closer bond between parents and children, fostering a learning environment that can be adjusted continuously to meet the child's evolving needs. However, it requires a substantial time commitment from parents, who must take on the roles of both teacher and administrator, which can be challenging without adequate resources and support.
In contrast, private schooling offers a structured and comprehensive curriculum delivered by professional educators, often within a well-resourced environment. Private schools typically have smaller class sizes compared to public schools, which can lead to more individualized attention and support for students.
