What Harvest Preparatory School does

Harvest Preparatory School is a private K-12 Christian college-preparatory school founded in 1986 by Dr. Rodney L. Parsley and Joni Parsley as the educational ministry of World Harvest Church. The school operates on an 86-acre campus at 4595 Gender Road in Canal Winchester, Ohio, with access to approximately 500,000 square feet of classroom, meeting, athletic, and office space. It enrolls roughly 850 students across Kindergarten through Grade 12 with 85 teachers and staff, maintaining a 15:1 student-teacher ratio. The curriculum integrates a biblical worldview with college-preparatory academics, including daily Bible classes, weekly chapel services, 10 AP and Honors courses, College Credit Plus dual-enrollment, an ACE gifted program, and 1:1 Chromebooks integrated via Google Classroom and Google Educator Level 1 Certified faculty.

The school's product surface spans core academics, competitive varsity athletics (with 22 Mid-State League Championship Titles and two OHSAA State Championships in Girls Basketball), clubs including National Honor Society and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, an Extended Care program, a Summer Reading program, and a K-12 guidance and college counseling function. The student body represents 12 nationalities and over 80 different church congregations across central Ohio. Operations are managed on the FACTS/RenWeb school information system, with admissions funneled through a dedicated Enrollment Services Center, on-campus visits (Open House, Future Student Friday, Walk-In Wednesday), and a parent referral program offering $250 tuition credit per accepted referral.

Harvest Preparatory School generates revenue primarily through tiered annual tuition (Grades K-5: $7,300; Grades 6-8: $8,300; Grades 9-12: $9,700), recurring administrative and enrollment fees ($150-$575), one-time application and matriculation fees ($200-$215), and ancillary athletic revenue. Tuition is administered through FACTS Tuition Management with 10-month payment plans and a 10% full-payment discount. Revenue diversification includes Ohio EdChoice Traditional and Expansion Scholarships and OCEN Scholarship Grant Organization funds that broaden access to families with demonstrated financial need. As a chartered non-public school under the Ohio Department of Education and an active member of the Association of Christian Schools International, the school holds the regulatory standing required to accept public scholarship dollars while maintaining its faith-based mission.
