Our teachers use a variety of resources from both traditional and Christian publishers to provide an exemplary education to our students. As a private school accredited by three different organizations, HCA must declare a standard that guides student learning. Since we are in Texas, HCA has chosen the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) as our baseline standard. Our hope is that we take our students to a deeper level of learning and endeavor to teach all subjects from a Christian Worldview.

Approximately 80% choose to continue their education at a 4-year university. Education after high school is a family decision informed by many factors. Whether or not our students choose a 4-year college, a Junior College, or a trade school does not lessen the fact that they are prepared for whichever direction they choose.
