Welcome
Haw
River Christian Academy is a new classical Christian school in Chatham
County, North Carolina. We are opening in the Fall of 2008 and
initially offering transitional kindergarten (ages 4-5), kindergarten
(half-day), and Grades 1 & 2 with plans to add one grade per year
until we are serving grades K-12.
Our
mission is to educate students with a Christ-centered foundation and
excellent classical academics while encouraging students to discover
their unique Godly design, purpose and calling. All subjects are taught
as part of 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. The focus of this effort is to see God's
sovereignty over all and to glorify Him.

We use the
time-proven approach of classical education to teaching which
structures learning according to the God-given stages of child
development. This enables students to gain knowledge, understanding,
and wisdom at an age when subjects are most easily mastered. The
curriculum is taught in a three-part educational process termed "The
Trivium," and each phase is dependent on the others.
At Haw
River Christian Academy, our vision is to graduate young men and women,
who think clearly and listen carefully with discernment and
understanding; who reason persuasively and articulate precisely; who
are capable of evaluating their entire range of experience in the light
of the Scriptures; and who do so with eagerness in joyful submission to
God. We desire them to recognize cultural influences as distinct from
biblical and to be un-swayed toward evil by the former.
We aim to find them
well prepared in all situations, possessing both information and the
knowledge of how to use it. We desire they be socially graceful and
spiritually gracious; equipped with and understanding the tools of
learning; desiring to grow in understanding, yet fully realizing the
limitations and foolishness of the wisdom of this world. We
desire they have a heart for the lost and the courage to seek to
dissuade those who are stumbling toward destruction; that they
distinguish real religion from religion in form only; and that they
possess the former, knowing and loving the Lord Jesus Christ.
And all these we desire them to possess with humility and gratitude to
God.
