Heritage Christian Academy, Bessemer | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My family’s first interaction with Heritage Christian Academy (HCA) was a little over two years ago. Prior to enrollment, my pre-school son was being cared for by family members instead of a daycare. The decision to enter him into a regular kindergarten program was a big one for us, and after considering several options we chose HCA. Some positives for us as outsiders to the school were the smaller class sizes, education from a Christian worldview, AdvancedEd (formerly SACS) accreditation, location and opportunities to continue his education through high school if desired. The end of my child’s second year is approaching, and all of us (including him) are pleased with our decision to select this school. My son has progressed so much over the last two years, and he is still excited about going to school every day. It is great to experience his teachers’ dedication and love for him and his love for them. He regularly talks about school even after finishing for the day. As my son grows older, I look forward to him being able to take advantage of the sports programs, and increasing his participation in the fine arts offerings he is experiencing now. I feel confident he will continue to get an exceptional education at Heritage Christian Academy that will help him develop into a well-rounded individual.

We love our Heritage Christian Academy school! Our son started when he was beginning Kindergarten and he is now in 5th grade. The teachers are amazing and the leadership is full of integrity. They are all very good at communicating everything all the time to the parents so we always know what is going on. We have every intention of letting our son attend HCA until he graduates 12th grade. We ask him every year if he wants to go back and every year he says definitely YES!!
We are praying for you and your family to find this school family like we have. It will change your lives forever!! God bless you all who are looking into Christian education. It is life changing.

I have been engaged and involved with Shades Mountain Christian School in one way or another since 1975. I’m a graduate and have two girls who currently attend. It’s been so amazing to see how God has used this school over the years to impact kids and families for His kingdom.
Small class sizes, godly teachers who really care, excellence in academics and the arts and athletics, and everything taught from a biblical worldview perspective are just a few of the things that makes SMCS great.
