High Point Christian Academy

What High Point Christian Academy does

High Point Christian Academy (HPCA) is a private, nonprofit Christian college preparatory school serving students from Preschool through 12th grade, founded in 1996 as a ministry outgrowth of Green Street Baptist Church in High Point, North Carolina. The school operates a single main campus at 800 Phillips Avenue with a satellite preschool location at Westchester Baptist Church, and currently enrolls approximately 983 students supported by 168 faculty and staff members. HPCA structures its offerings across four divisions — Preschool (ages 1-4), Elementary (TK-5th), Middle School (6th-8th), and High School (9th-12th) — under a unified Kingdom Education philosophy that integrates biblical worldview across all academic disciplines including math, science, language arts, and social studies.

The school delivers its curriculum through standard educational technology including interactive panels, 1:1 Chromebooks in the high school, hands-on robotics, 3D printing, and a technology lab. Administrative and family engagement is supported by the Veracross student information platform (a Digistorm solution currently being migrated), and college/career planning uses the Scoir system. The high school offers College Prep, Honors, AP, and dual-enrollment courses through nine partner colleges including The College at Southeastern, Bryan College, and Guilford Technical Community College. Beyond academics, HPCA fields 32 athletic teams across 13 sports and offers a comprehensive fine arts program in band, chorus, drama, and visual art, with documented Superior ratings at Festival Disney and ACSI Band Festivals.

HPCA's business model is tuition-driven supplemented by charitable fundraising. Revenue streams include recurring annual tuition (covering Preschool through 12th grade), non-refundable application fees, the K.M. Vestal Annual Fund, the Claude and Mickie Gable Financial Aid Fund, corporate and individual sponsorships, and planned gifts. Tuition does not fully cover operating costs, requiring ongoing fundraising. The school holds accreditations from ACSI, NCISAA, NCES, and Cognia, and operates as a Southern Baptist-affiliated institution. There are no external investors, PE, or VC ownership stakes; the institution is governed in connection with its founding church under a Head of School (Jeremy Blackstock) supported by division principals and an advancement director.
