Hershey Christian Academy embraces various approaches toward academics and learning.

MakerSpace

There are numerous ways to name a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) lab. We call ours Makerspace. It’s a class intended to celebrate and stimulate hands-on learning and discovery. In Makerspace, all kinds of learning happens. Guided inquiry invites more questions and experimentation, which then leads to repurposing, new inventions, and more enthusiasm to explore.

Digital Skills

Computer literacy and the development of programming logic and critical thinking are the core of our digital skills program. This class will guide students to navigate through our world of technology in a way that honors God. They will learn ways to be a good witness to the world through competent and responsible use of various computer programs and media arts.

Art

Our art curriculum explores a variety of artistic media including drawing, painting, sculpture and textiles. While creating artwork, students are introduced to famous works from art history, forge connections with other cultures and learn how artistic skills are applied to other academic subjects.

Music

Music classes help students to realize the primary purpose of music is to glorify and worship God, to discover and develop their musical abilities, and to create an atmosphere of love and enjoyment for music listening and performance. Children will prepare for concerts and other school performances throughout the year. We also offer instrumental music lessons for free with full-time enrollment.

BAND, CHORUS & MUSIC LESSONS

We are pleased to offer free music lessons for full-time enrolled 3rd through 12th grade students. Lessons include woodwind instruments, percussion and/or guitar. Students can also join the HCA Band and Chorus!

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

All students will have at least one weekly class of P.E. During this time, students will enjoy instruction and experience in various sports and activities. They will develop motor skills, increase their knowledge of sports, improve fitness and health, practice self discipline and goal setting, and benefit from all the valuable lessons gleaned from sports and physical activity, including sports ethics.

CHAPEL

Hershey Christian Academy students look forward to weekly chapel! A guest speaker delivers a powerful message, and students have time to worship and pray together. Chapel offers a mid-week blessing for full-time and homeschool students and staff. Families of HCA students are welcome to join us for this special time!

BEFOFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CLUB

We know your time is precious, so before-school club is available starting at 7:30 am, and after-school club is available until 5:30 pm.
