Family Partnership
A Partnership With Parents
At Hope Christian Academy, we know that we’re not our students’ only teachers
Parents lay the foundation for each child’s education, teaching them the most important lessons in life. We see our work at HCA as a partnership with parents as they seek to teach their children the ways of the Lord. We understand that as a school, we do not have a higher authority than parents do in the lives of their children. Instead, we serve with their delegated authority, in loco parentis.
Our Approach: Instruction in Righteousness
The Greek work paideia means “instruction,” “nurture,” or “training.” It’s used in 2 Timothy 3:16, when Paul writes to his student Timothy about “instruction”—or paideia—“in righteousness.” In partnership with parents, the paideia of the Lord is what we want to cultivate in our students.
