My grandson is attending this school and I think it is very good for him. I home schooled him for kindergarten and 1st grade and felt that he was not ready for a five day regular school. Even tho he was learning. HCA has been a good choice for him. He has excellent teachers. Mrs. Sumner is wonderful with him and communicates weekly on what is happening in the classes.

melissa: it is a wonderful school. Very caring teachers. We share responsibility to teach our kids. I don't use it for problem kids nor does very many other parents,although the 2 day a week schedule might motivate a problematic child.I use the school to allow me to home school with a teacher making sure my child stays up to par with other kids. The school gives your child classes you as the parent don't know or struggle to teach your child that you register for.
