What is represented in the tour is NOT what we experienced. Our experiences over 3 years included:…read moreHigh teacher turn over year to year and sometimes mid-year, to include 5 different heads of School in 4 years plus a rotation of office staff and other admin support... Rude and defensive responses when problems arise or questions are asked Low opportunity for meaningful parent involvement which decreased over years. "We know best" attitude toward parent (handbook touts "partnership"...this is NOT a partnership) One grade per class is typical. In lieu of hiring 2nd teacher they will create a big class. Curriculum is Abeka. The teachers do not use all components. Extracurricular offerings vary year to year and also mid-year - seem to struggle with staffing. Sports are limited and begin in middle school. No science labs. No library. Teachers rely on youtube videos for "brain breaks", "down-time" and "enrichment". The admin has no real concept of how often this is happening.

I highly recommend this school for your children. We have no complains: the school is clean and…read morewell maintained. The teachers are all engaged and reputable. The children's food is well made with good ingredients. I have zero complaints about the school for the 3.5 years my child attended. If we were able, we would continue to use this school exclusively.

My children have attended HCA since 1/2022. We decided to the move to the Prince William County…read morearea after living in Loudoun County for approx 8 years. We were looking for a school in the area that was not only rich in their curriculum, but a school that was diverse in its culture and one that embraced children of all ethnicities. I noticed that during Black Histoy Month (2/2023), there were no initiatives highlighted in the February Monthly newsletter to recognize the contributions of the many African-Americans that have contributed to American History. I decided to email the staff with ideas in which Black History Month could be incorporated into the curriculum, considering that there were a number of African-American students enrolled at HCA. I received a phone call immediately from one of the Administrators (Mrs. Juliana) stating that this was an oversight and that they would be sure to highlight Black History Month. I had a follow-up conversation with the Curriculum Specialist (Mrs. Giovanna)...and to my surprise, she had incorporated many of the items that I highlighted in my email! Not to mention, how swiftly she acted upon this. I would like to extend my SINCEREST gratitude for all that HCA has done for Black History Month and everything that they are instilling in my children daily. I was thoroughly impressed with the various learning activities the students participated in throughout the month. They exceeded my expectations on highlighting African-American culture and the many great achievements of some of the well-known Black pioneers that have contributed to AMERICAN HISTORY. Efforts such as these make my husband and I confident that we have selected the right school for our children. We look forward to our children thriving in a school environment that promotes diversity and inclusion, as well as high educational standards. Job well done HCA!!
