Six Reasons Why Private School Benefits High Schoolers
1) More parent involvement
What you will find at the majority of private schools is an invitation for parents to be more involved with their child’s education. There is open communication between administrators and parents, and we even have a parent portal on our website dedicated to facilitating open dialogue with families and faculty.
2) Better student to teacher ratio
Private schools typically have fewer students per class. This, in turn, means fewer students for whom faculty members are responsible, opening them up to providing individual attention to each student.
This means that at a private school like HCA, your child’s teachers will be able to identify whether they are struggling in a subject and need assistance, or are excelling and need to be given new challenges.
3) Personalized Education
Since we have smaller class sizes, we are able to pay extra attention to each child and their personal academic strengths and weaknesses. Not only is their education customized to their learning needs, but also according to what’s most important to all of us, our faith.
Above all, we want to point our students to Christ and His likeness. This is not the goal of every teacher in public schools.
Not only will your child have teachers that support you and your family’s Christian faith, but you have a whole community of administrators and other student families in agreement with you. Christ will be the center of our curriculum at Haywood Christian Academy.
4) Unique Extracurricular Opportunities
Something that you’ll find at many private schools is a larger variety of extracurriculars from which your child can choose. Athletics, fine arts, and other extracurricular activities allow your child to engage and exercise their minds and bodies during the school day.
Furthermore, these activities help your child explore interests that could benefit them in their future educational pursuits and careers. When determining whether or not to choose a private high school for your teenager, examine the extracurricular options available at their local public and private institutions.
You can find more information about our athletic programs and fine arts on our website.
5) Strong community
Private schools like Haywood Chrisitan Academy provide strong communities for high schoolers at a crucial time in their lives:
- Smaller class sizes invite collaboration and allow teenagers to form strong lifelong bonds.
- Teachers and administrators are not merely communicating their expertise but also discipling students to follow Christ.
- At the part of their lives when they are capable of grasping complex concepts, private Christian high schools inundate students with the gospel in an environment where they can ask questions.
- Parents are encouraged to take an active role in the education of their students.
6) Tuition Assistance
We do not want finances to be the thing that stops your child from getting the education you want for them. At Haywood Christian Academy, we accept children from all economic backgrounds, races, and Christian denominations.
If finances are an issue, we would be glad to talk with you about financial aid.
Parent Testimony
Our website has parent testimonials on it of the experience they and their children have had with Haywood Christian Academy. Below is the testimony of the Rogers Family:
Haywood Christian Academy has been such a blessing to our family. After years of homeschooling, we searched and prayed on the right school for our children. HCA came into our lives at just the right time. Not only are my children excelling socially, academically, and athletically, but I have seen them each grow closer to the Lord.
I feel I can call on the teachers at any time, and I know they are there for my family. We have already seen the blessings of investing in our children's education through Haywood Christian Academy, and I am so thankful for the strong foundation they are receiving there.
