On A Mission with A Vision

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to promote Christian principles in an effort to develop Ambassadors for Christ who are READY, RESPECTFUL, and RESPONSIBLE. We desire to be a bridge that links the secure, familiar world of home with the challenging experience of school. We endeavor to provide a warm Christian environment where children can continue to grow and develop.

VISION STATEMENT

Highland Park Christian Academy (HPCA) aspires to partner with parents to create an environment where students develop a relationship with God to better understand their identity in Christ. HPCA seeks Christian educators who will equip students to grow in their God-given talents through engaging instruction and creative activities, to become the Ambassadors God is calling for, in their community and throughout the world.

Highland Park Christian Academy works diligently to instill in its Ambassadors the responsibility and privilege of being an Ambassador for Christ Jesus. They are taught early on to be Ready for each day’s challenge and to actively participate in the plan of God for their lives; to be Respectful to others and themselves, and to reverence God; and, to be Responsible for their actions.
