Ambassadors ages 2-4 years old, learn the basics that form the foundation for social development, mathematics, language arts, phonemic awareness, science, and bible. The focus is learning to become independent by putting on their clothing properly, expressing themselves verbally, following directions, and working in groups and teams. Academically, this age group is introduced to a formal learning environment where they form an enthusiasm for learning. Ambassadors fashion their individual creativity and learning habits through songs, coloring, cutting, drawing, writing, reading, listening, storytelling, sports, physical education, Spanish, Bible, STEAM and music instruction. Fine and large motor skill development at increasingly difficult skill levels are consciously included in curriculum activities. The Abeka curriculum is used in preschool as well as Purposeful Design Bible Curriculum through ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International). Field trips augment the classroom curriculum.

HPCA middle school is the first step in adolescent development that commences adult behavior. Therefore, it is important to nurture responsible and thoughtful citizens who are prepared for life in an increasingly interdependent global society. Students will be challenged to explore, create, and make decisions that lead to their participation in becoming accountable for their own behavior and learning. Students will build upon previous academic and learning experiences to explore new areas of interest that will give them direction for future choices emotionally, academically, socially, and spiritually. They are preparing to make the transition from the elementary school level to high school. Students, through a flexible and supportive environment that subscribes to individualized instruction, will engage in a challenging and vigorous core curriculum encompassing math, financial literacy, science, social studies, foreign language, literature, physical and health education, technology, STEAM education and spiritual development. Included in the curriculum is experiences in the areas of youth leadership, student council, National Junior Honor Society, sports, and other activities to enrich their lives and discover their passions as well as enhance their sensitivity to the issues important to the welfare of their communities and development of leadership skills. Advanced/Honors courses are available for students who demonstrate high achievement.
Ambassadors attend weekly Chapel services throughout the school year. It is an extension of their Christian learning and training. In this environment, they not only express belief and understanding of Biblical concepts, pray, and recite scriptures, they also assume roles of worship leader, parts in theatrical vignettes, program planning, dancing and singing. Children develop public speaking and comfort before an audience. Parents, visitors, and guests are always welcome to attend chapel.
Each bible lesson will focus on one of the 8 Characteristics of Ambassadorship: Patience, Wisdom, Gracious in Speech, Generosity, Honesty, Readiness of Mind, Humility and Confidence.
