Christian Values | Academic Excellence

Fully Accredited with the Tennessee Department of Education through TANAS
(Tennessee Association of Non-Public Academic Schools).

Mission Statement

The mission of Heritage Christian Academy is to provide a quality education without compromising spiritual integrity, to equip children spiritually, academically and physically for today and eternity.

Our Purpose

HCA is committed to offering a distinctively Christian and excellent academic education beginning with Kindergarten (starting at age three) and continuing through the 8th grade.  It is the responsibility of the staff members to diligently seek to instill the time-honored values of not only faith in God, but also love of family, patriotism, respect for authority, and hard work.  The Academy seeks to work with parents in helping to fulfill the God-given mandate in Proverbs 22:6 to “train up a child in the way he should go:  and when he is old, he will not depart from it” bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).

Statement of Philosophy & Objectives

HCA believes the Bible to be the divinely inspired Word of God, inerrant in its original manuscripts.  We accept the traditional principles of Christianity outlined in the Bible as the standard for daily living.  As Christ is the cornerstone of the church, we believe that He is also the cornerstone of the educational process. For the spiritual and moral growth of the students, HCA seeks:

  • To teach the essential doctrines of the Christian Faith.
  • To lead the pupils into a personal, saving relationship with Christ as Lord and Savior.
  • To develop a desire to know and to do the will of God.
  • To develop a Biblical sense of right and wrong.
  • To foster self-discipline in the student, based on respect for and reverence toward God and all authority.
  • To help pupils develop a consistent Christian philosophy of life by integrating all subjects with the Bible.

Academically, HCA endeavors: 

  • To promote high academic standards.
  • To help each pupil gain a comprehensive command of the fundamental processes used in communicating with others (i.e. reading, writing, speaking, and listening).
  • To foster an appreciation of our Christian and American Heritage, of human dignity, which leads to good citizenship.
  • To impart knowledge of the world and current events relative to God’s plan for men.

Statement of Faith

HCA believes in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified for our sins, died, and was buried, and rose again on the third day from the dead; that He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father; from thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.  We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church as the Body of Christ, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.  We believe God has ordained the basic institution of society to be the marriage of one man and one woman.
