About Halifax Christian Academy

Halifax Christian Academy, a not-for-profit private Christian school, began in 1975 to provide parents with an educational alternative for their children?s schooling. HCA is a member school of ACSI ? The Association of Christian Schools International. HCA is truly an interdenominational school - our families come from over 40 area churches, Children from all faiths are welcome. From the beginning, Halifax Christian Academy has delivered its curriculum from a biblical world view. The staff seeks to encourage students to enter into a personal relationship with their Creator through faith in Jesus Christ and to develop Christ-like character. From this focus, then, flows the pursuit of academic excellence where students are challenged to perform to the maximum of their potential.
