Harp's Crossing Christian Academy is a fully accredited Christian School which currently serves infants through 9 grade and will expand to 10 grade next school year. Infants through Pre-K 4 are located at the Harps Crossing Baptist Church campus. Kindergarten through 9 grade is located on the Main Campus on GA Highway 85 south building. (previously the Christ's Church at Whitewater property).
"At HCCA, God has called us to provide a quality education in a Christian environment. Our mission and vision are to walk alongside families and seek to assist in raising up the next generation to stand boldly for Christ. God is truly blessing HCCA in every area," said Heather Hager, Head of School. She adds, "Recently, we walked through the accreditation process where we were granted full accreditation with ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International.) We are extremely excited to be a part of what God is doing."
Harps Crossing Baptist Church started their preschool over 30 years ago, serving babies to Pre-K 4. During the 2018/19 school year, they added Kindergarten and ultimately expanded to 5 grade in 2020/21, with plans to add a grade each year.
HCCA reached their building's capacity and sought the Lord's direction for a new facility. A 7-year plan was condensed into 7 months when they closed on their current property on GA Highway 85 South on May 24, 2023. During the 2023/24 school year, HCCA expanded to 8 grade and will continue to extend the academy to 12 grade.
HCCA's mission is to provide quality, affordable education in a Christian environment while supporting families in the important task of child rearing. By integrating the Gospel, academics, and a loving environment, students at HCCA develop holistically and flourish as they learn the Truth of God while preparing for their future. Their vision is to walk alongside families and offer support as they raise the next generation who will boldly stand for Christ in all aspects of life because each child is a treasure of God.
