This school did not have the diversity I was seeking for my child. The office staff is very pleasant. I felt a superficial sense of tolerence among some teachers and parents. I had serious problems with my child's teacher nothing was done about it. The principal simply ignored my note to him and

I could have sued them in court. However, the Bible says that Chritians should not take Christians to court. I turned it over to the Lord and decided to walk in love. I have no bad feelings toward the school.I had to find another school for my child. This was a christian experience that the Lord taught me many things. I will never forget it. Read less

My daughter has attended Kingsway, Heirway and Harvester. Harvester is by FAR the best Christian school in this area. I like the fact that they do not have to wear plaid uniforms they can just wear khakis and collared shirts. Their lunches are kind of expensive but they are much better food quality

There is no way you can get to Atlanta from there in 30 minutes! We did have a problem with a teacher and a lot of the kids were failing her class and NOTHING was done about it. They continued to blame it on my daughter. Read less

The godly teachers modeled Christ before him and challenged him to grow spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. The most influential person during his time there was the Headmaster. This man has made a tremendous

I am not a parent, but I am an alumnus from this school. HCA gave me the knowledge I needed to go to a great college and I was able to go with an almost full ride. The school is very focused on Christianity and it helped me to be prepared to stand for what I believe in. The teachers are some of the

It gives the students the one-on-one teaching needed to really get kids to want to learn. I find HCA to be a place where I would want to send my kids one day and a place where I would like to work.

HCA provides an excellent education. Most graduating seniors earn scholarships to college. Faculty members are Christians and encourage Biblical standards for students. God's Love abounds at HCA. Parental involvement makes HCA fabulous. The most important aspect of HCA is the focus on Jesus Christ.
... Read more All things are done for His Honor and Glory there. HCA is a small school, yet we know that our son's education having Jesus Christ as the foundation and the Cornerstone is the most important aspect. HCA offers art, music, basketball, soccer, cheerleading, football, baseball, and track. There may be others~not sure. Academics are excellent. My son was doing the same work a fifth grade teacher friend was teaching when he was in the third grade! As a public school teacher, I see many perks at HCA which aren't available in larger classes/schools. Research shows~sense of family is very important to students through high school. Read less

Harvester has its pro's and con's. One very good thing about Harvester is that the Christian life is very brought into this school and its teachings.

One thing is that the students pants must not touch the ground, you may not wear undershirts, you may not wear hoddie sweatshirts, and you cant wear jackets inside they building. My child and I think these rules are goin a bit overboard and they should stick 2 a better dresscode or just switch to uniforms.
