Grounded in Historic Christian Faith
The mission and culture of HCS are shaped by a clear Christian foundation that informs teaching, relationships, spiritual formation, and daily school life.
Faith Shapes the Life of the School
At Huntington Christian School, Christian faith is not treated as a separate subject disconnected from the rest of the school experience.
Faith shapes the culture of the school, relationships between students and staff, classroom conversations, chapel gatherings, and the broader mission of helping students grow academically, spiritually, and socially.
