Isaiah 61:3

They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for His splendor.

At Hermitage Christian Academy, we educate with an emphasis on character and identity in Christ, growing not just successful students, but young men and women who walk in their purposes set before them by their Creator, with a vision to love God and to love their fellow man. 

Students at Hermitage Christian Academy receive an education grounded in history, language, and the skills of sound thinking, rooting them in truth and preparing them to enter an ever-changing world, and shape it for God’s glory.

Hermitage Christian Academy is a member of the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). Read more about the positive outcomes of ACCS graduates in the Good Soil Report.

Christian Foundation

We believe scripture is clear about parents’ responsibility to educate their child(ren) about the world. We believe the world was created by God, and therefore a true and comprehensive education must include God.

  • Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

  • You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

  • Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.

  • Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.

  • Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

Classical Methods

The foundation of Western civilization will be emphasized through the study of history, philosophy, science, the arts, literature, and classical language. The method of instruction will implement the Trivium: Grammar (the fundamental data and interrelated rules of a subject); Logic (the ordered relationship of particulars in a subject); and Rhetoric (the clear expression of the grammar and logic of that subject).

School Philosophy

Hermitage Christian Academy is a private Christian school committed to providing a biblically-based classical education. The Academy strives to operate as an extension of the family under the assumption that the education of children is the responsibility of parents rather than the state. The Academy will provide a classically-based curriculum which will focus on scripture, classical language, mathematics, rhetoric, natural history, music, art, and the reading of history and literature.
