Mission Statement

Happy Hill Farm Academy, est. 1975

Balance; to keep steady; the power or ability to decide; considering everything

At Happy Hill Farm Academy, the curriculum provides students with a balanced and strong foundational knowledge base in the areas of history, science, government, and economics as well as core academic skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and technology. Regardless of the academic subject, instruction in all classes focuses on building critical thinking, problem solving, communication, organization, study, and social skills.

Happy Hill Farm Academy’s goal is to prepare students for advanced education through a rigorous, college-preparatory educational program taught within a Christian worldview framework.  Students are also prepared for life as informed, ethical, moral, and productive citizens through a host of other opportunities that promote intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Happy Hill Farm Academy is a boarding, day, and international school that provides opportunities very much like a university but on a K-12 level.  The Academy prepares students for university life educationally, socially, and physically.  The student body is extremely diverse, yet each member shares a common goal of excelling educationally while demonstrating Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Self-Discipline, and Compassion.

What distinguishes the Academy from almost all other boarding schools at this level is the dedication to raise scholarship funding for almost every student in the program.  For those families who can afford to pay some tuition, it is set at a much lower level than other schools offering the same quality programs in order to reach those students who will make the most of their lives.  Traditionally, over 90% of Happy Hill Farm Academy’s budget has come from donations within the private community from caring individuals, corporations, and foundations.  The Academy also seeks out underserved students with the same abilities, much like a university, and provides scholarships in order that these highly-motivated boys and girls receive the same opportunity to learn, commit, grow, and eventually assume positions of responsibility and leadership in society.

Happy Hill Farm Academy offers its students a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum, fosters the development of social and emotional well-being, deepens spiritual growth and moral maturity, encourages an appreciation for the arts and creativity, emphasizes the value of good work and study habits, and promotes regular physical exercise and healthy lifestyles.  This balance creates a learning environment where amazing things “happen on the Hill.”
