Harrells Christian Academy is an independent, college preparatory, coeducational day school for students in kindergarten through grade 12. Located in southeastern Sampson County, the Academy enrolls students mostly from surrounding counties (Bladen, Duplin, Pender and Sampson).
The admissions office requests that each perspective student submit a school transcript, standardized test scores, a copy of birth certification, social security card, and a completed application. An interview and entrance test is also part of the admissions process. First priority will be given to siblings of current students and children of alumni as well as staff. In an overcrowded situation, test scores, along with interview criteria, will be evaluated to determine student acceptance.
Nondiscriminatory Policy: Harrells Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, and other school administered policies. Some financial assistance is available.
Philosophy: We devote our efforts to educating children and young adults who value integrity, commitment, and students who realize that the moral and intellectual domains of our lives blend into one another. Harrells Christian Academy creates an environment that encourages the importance of education, respect for diversity, and the value of approaching life with confidence and enthusiasm. Our quest is for excellence and personal development consistent with our Judeo-Christian precepts.
