Haw River Christian Academy looks ahead to its third year while Chatham County takes notice. In a year’s time, the school’s student enrollment has doubled and the benefits of its teaching are being recognized by many local families. The public is invited to see firsthand how this new school is becoming a unique, educational alternative for the community. Its upcoming Open House is scheduled for Thursday, February 4, from 5:30 to 7:30 P.M. at the school’s current facility, Rock Springs Baptist Church. This event serves as an excellent venue for interested families to tour the school facility, view student work, talk with faculty, and meet parents of enrolled students.
Haw River Christian Academy (HRCA) eagerly begins its third academic school year in the Fall of 2010. It has come a long way in a few short years as Chatham County’s premier classical Christian school. HRCA seeks to educate students with excellent classical academics that are taught as an integrated whole, with the Scriptures at the center serving as the hub of all knowledge. As a result, students learn to interrelate and examine knowledge, allowing them to view their studies as a unified effort. Its classical teaching methodology blended with a biblical worldview, uniform code, and emphasis on Christian values and traditional manners is making it an attractive educational option.
HRCA currently offers kindergarten (half-day) and grades 1-3. It will add fourth grade for the 2010-2011 school year, with plans to continue adding one grade per year until serving grades K-12. In addition to its regular classes, HRCA offers art, music and Latin classes for homeschoolers on a weekly basis throughout the school year.
The admissions process, for the 2010-11 school year, opens to the general public on February 1. New applicants submitting applications by March 15 will receive half off the application fee. There is limited seating in all grades, so it is best to get your application in early.
Interested families are also encouraged to schedule a tour by contacting the School Office at 533-4139 or to visit the school’s website, www.HawRiverChristian.org, as an additional resource.
