Heart Christian Academy

H.E.A.R.T stands for Home Education And Righteousness Training. Heart Academy is a Christian cooperative home school group designed to provide support and structure for our approximately 100 enrolled families. While parents serve as their childrens' primary instructor, we offer educational services, accountability and enrichment programs to aid in the quality of the home school experience.

HCA files an affidavit with the state of California each year and is classified as a Private School Satellite Program in which each student’s education is provided by or under the direction of their parents. To achieve our goal of supporting home schooling parents, Heart Academy provides two distinct collaborative educational models.

Two Day Program
Children in our two day program spend Monday and Wednesday of each week in grade-level classes at our Ocean Hills Church campus. As their children’s primary instructor, the parent teaches at home on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Using Heart Academy’s curriculum lists, the Heart Academy classroom instructor for each grade creates lesson plans for use throughout the week. In this unique program, the parent teacher and the on-campus instructor work as a team to provide a multi-faceted learning experience.

Private Satellite Program
Our Private Satellite Program (PSP) provides the same state-required legal covering as our Two Day Program but students are educated by the parent at home full time. Additionally, Heart Academy’s PSP families receive the guidance and support of a Master Teacher, the option of using our curriculum lists and lesson plans as well as a host of extra-curricular opportunities.
