HCS education process desires to educate the balanced, whole student–mind, body and spirit. “Higher than the highest human thought can reach is God’s ideal for His children.” Education, p. 18. Physical activity and healthful living are seen as being an essential part of a student’s development. A positive spiritual attitude is also necessary to prepare one’s mind to grasp wisdom. “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you how to succeed, who leads you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17 (NET) This holistic approach is not meant to diminish academic importance, but rather to advance the learning process and better prepare each student to achieve his or her full potential in Christ. In this process we encourage respect of others and self.

Our vision is to create a love of learning and serving in each student. HCS wears the label of Christian education in everything we inspire in our students. Seventh-day Adventists recognize God as the ultimate source of existence and truth. We believe Christ died as part of a plan to restore humanity back into God’s image. Since we were created in God’s image, every human being, although fallen, is extremely valuable and full of potential through Christ. Therefore, Adventist education seeks to maximize inherent abilities, promote loving service over selfish ambition, and cultivate the appreciation for all that is beautiful, true, and good. “It is the work of true education to develop this power, to train the youth to be thinkers, and not mere reflectors of other men’s thought.” Education p. 17. Studies prove that the longer students are in this school system the more advanced they will perform.
