The HCA Difference

At Horse Creek Academy, we believe that education is more than academics — it’s about building a community, nurturing the whole child, and creating opportunities for every learner to thrive.

Here’s what sets us apart:

A School Designed for Flexibility

We understand that no two learners are the same. That’s why HCA was built with flexibility at its core — from instructional models to student services. Whether it’s personalized learning paths, creative enrichment, or unique scheduling options, our team works to meet the needs of each child and family.

We Are the Village

HCA is more than a school — we’re a village. Every family signs a commitment to partner with us through service, communication, and shared responsibility. From classroom volunteers to school-wide events, we work together to create a strong, connected community that lifts all children up.

Leaders Who Teach

Our administrators don’t just lead — they teach. Every school leader at HCA steps into the classroom each quarter to stay connected, model excellence, and build relationships with students and staff. It’s a practice that keeps us grounded, collaborative, and in tune with the needs of our learners.

A Whole Child Approach

We educate the whole child — focusing not only on academic success, but also on emotional intelligence, social responsibility, and character development. Our programs support student wellness, celebrate service, and provide leadership opportunities for all ages.

Charter School, Community Heart

As a public charter school, HCA is free and open to all — but what makes us truly unique is our heart for community. We partner with local businesses, nonprofits, and families to bring real-world learning, community service, and cultural experiences to our students every day.

Proven Results, Growing Demand

In 2014, we served just over 300 students. Today, HCA has grown to serve almost 1,500 students with a waitlist in nearly every grade — and we’re still growing. Our success is driven by one thing: a relentless commitment to students, families, and the values that make us who we are.

We’re Not Just Different — We’re Purposeful

The HCA Difference isn’t an accident. It’s intentional. It’s grounded in service, flexibility, and connection, and it’s reflected in everything we do — from classroom instruction to school culture to how we partner with families and the broader community.

We’re proud to be different. And we’re proud to be your Village.
