HRCA Scholarship Policy: Any government or non-HRCA tuition assistance will be subject to acceptance policies. No funds will be accepted if doing so requires HRCA to alter its policies or compromise its faith positions.
We could not be happier to have our children educated in a Classical Christian School. It has been one of the best decisions and investments we have made for our children.
HRCA students can reason well, work hard, and communicate clearly. Students are taught by well-educated teachers who genuinely care for each student and their well-being.
Our children are thriving academically and enjoy going to school each day. It is our hope that residents of Chatham County take full advantage of the opportunity that HRCA presents to their families!
We have watched our children grow into mature, well spoken, respectful and well rounded individuals who love the Lord. Our children are thriving at HRCA through the love, support and genuine desires from the staff.
One of the best decisions Christian parents can make is to enter into the covenant relationship that blesses and empowers their children with a classical Christian education.
The high academic standard is paired with a joyful, loving, Christ-centered environment where the word of God is taught and honored. It has been one of our greatest blessings to be part of this school!
