Student Life

At Heritage Christian Academy we are committed to providing Christ-centered education.

At HCA we deliver the Alberta program of studies through a biblical worldview. This means faith is integrated in all aspects of school life. From the ways our faith impacts social studies and the people and relationships we encounter daily, to understanding God's design and creation through the study of sciences. Christ is central to the classroom and the curriculum.
