INNOVATIONS IN LEARNING

A thoughtful approach to every school day.

Year-Round Schedule

"Education is an ongoing journey, and the structure of the academic calendar can significantly impact student success. Research by the National Association for Year-Round Education (NAYRE) has shown that students attending year-round schools retain more information and demonstrate higher achievement compared to those in schools following a traditional schedule. This approach minimizes the learning loss that often occurs during extended breaks, enabling continuous growth and development. At Harbor City Christian Prep, we recognize the value of this educational model and are committed to fostering an environment where learning thrives throughout the year. We believe in nurturing the whole child, and our year-round structure is a testament to our dedication to excellence."

Testing Times

"Studies have shed light on the intriguing relationship between the timing of tests and student performance. Research conducted by the American Psychological Association found that students' test scores tend to be higher in the afternoon compared to the morning. This finding is attributed to various cognitive and physiological factors that influence alertness and focus. At Harbor City Christian Prep, we align our approach with this evidence, ensuring that we schedule tests in the afternoon to provide the most favorable environment for success. Your child's well-being and achievement are at the heart of our mission, and we make informed decisions that reflect our commitment to excellence."

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Is HCCP accredited?

We are working with Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), which is a recognized leader in accrediting Christians schools across the nation.  Accreditation remains a goal of our school development process. Please contact us for the latest status and timeline.

Will my junior or senior receive an accredited diploma?

Yes, we are working with both Liberty and Oral Roberts Universities for our high school curriculum.  Your students will earn dual credit that can be used if they attend one of these universities.

Do other schools use the year-round schedule?

Yes, ten percent of US public school and tens of thousands of European schools use year-round calendars.  Teachers and students prefer it, because it allows them to stay caught up and always gives a welcome break after two months.  Plus, studies show that the shorter summer break allows students to retain information at a much higher rate.
