Our Faculty and Staff

Our faculty will comprise a diverse group of educators who are dedicated to teaching, learning and academic excellence. As teachers, our faculty members bring education to life using both their rich base of practical experience and their commitment to Christ. Outside of the classroom, faculty members pride themselves on their accessibility, commitment to the community, and their church family.

The Seven Laws of Teaching

In applying the classical approach in the classroom, Haw River Christian Academy teachers strive to follow the following principles (These principles are enumerated and explained by John Milton Gregory in The Seven Laws of Teaching, revised edition (1917, original 1884), reprinted by Baker Book House, 1993.)


The Law of the Teacher:
The teacher must know that which he would teach; therefore, know thoroughly, clearly, and familiarly the lesson you wish to teach.

The Law of the Learner:
The learner must attend with interest to the material to be learned; therefore, gain and keep the attention and interest of the pupils on the lesson. Do not try to teach without attention.

The Law of the Language:
The language used in teaching must be common to teacher and learner; therefore, use words understood in the same way by the pupils and yourself.

The Law of the Lesson:
The truth to be taught must be learned through truth already known; therefore, begin with what is already well known to the pupil about the subject, and proceed to the new material by single, easy, and natural steps.


The Law of the Teaching Process: Expert teachers arouse and direct self-activities by their students, thus stimulating them to learn for themselves. Student skills grow with practical exercises involving their minds.


The Law of the Learning Process:
The student must reproduce in his own mind the truth to be learned; therefore, require the pupil to reproduce in thought the lesson he is learning---thinking it out in its various phases and applications until he can express it in his own language.


The Law of Review and Application:
Review perfects knowledge, confirms knowledge, and makes knowledge ready and useful.
