Admissions – Hawthorne Christian Academy

Welcome to Hawthorne Christian Academy! As you browse our site, you will see that we are a Christ-centered, family-oriented school, offering preschool through high school. We consider ourselves partners with our parents, united in presenting Christ to our students in academics, attitude, and example. It is our desire to equip our students and release them to make a difference in the world.

Since 1981, our endeavor has been to build on our strong foundation, teaching all subjects from a Biblical perspective as we adhere to high academic standards. Our commitment is to challenge our students’ minds and feed their faith. We aim to discover and cultivate each student’s strengths and gifts, acknowledging them as God’s unique creations.
