High School Curriculum
|
Hernando Christian Academy (HCA) offers a challenging, academically rigorous college preparatory education within the frame of Christian principles and values. A wide variety of learning experiences are available for students through excellent textbooks and materials which are utilized by our outstanding faculty to meet the varied learning styles and academic levels and needs of students. The curriculum highlights a Christian worldview and emphasizes encouraging students to cultivate strong moral principles and personal ethical standards while developing their individual relationships with Christ.
High School (Grades 9 – 12)
The high school curriculum at HCA is a college preparatory program based on the principle that students at this stage of their academic development must participate in creating opportunities for learning and take ownership of their academic progression. Therefore, students in math, science, history, English and Bible courses engage in activities that are primarily student-driven and which incorporate various methods of assessment including term papers, projects and oral and multimedia presentations as well as traditional objective tests. College-bound students with the need and aptitude for greater academic challenges may apply for admission to honors and Advanced Placement courses. Students are also strongly encouraged to enroll in foreign language classes and focus on specific elective areas in which they have a compelling aptitude or interest. The elective offerings vary from year to year with the changing needs of students, but standard offerings have included art, chorus, drama, journalism, computer applications and puppetry. HCA’s emphasis on building leaders with Christian character is reinforced at the high school level by requiring community service hours for graduation and the opportunity for students to assume leadership roles within the student government system.
