About HCA

The Beginning
"When we began homeschooling our oldest two daughters in 1993, we had no idea that homeschooling would become such an important part of our lives. When our children reached high school, I didn’t look forward to dissecting frogs in my kitchen, but I knew there were others who could make that exciting and fun. I wanted my children to love learning and to have instructors who would make learning contagious while preparing our children for college."
-Katrina Hagerty, HCA Founder
Better Together
​"As a 2nd generation homeschooler, my heart overflows with gratitude to what my mom created in 1997. Our community at HCA loves the Lord and loves each other. My children tell me constantly that they wouldn't want to homeschool without HCA, and I feel the same way. These families ARE family; they support each other, push each other towards Jesus, and are always there with a hug, a prayer, and a word of encouragement. On top of all of that, the tutors and parents teaching my children are intelligent and kind."
-Kristina Parnell, HCA Program Administrator

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
