What do you love about HCA?
Hear firsthand from our students what they love about HCA.
Christian Education
HCA wants to continue to make accessible Christian education so that every child has the opportunity to attend a school that reflects their faith. However, this can be out of reach for many students due to financial circumstances outside of their control.
You can make a difference by supporting our bursary program that provides tuition assistance to families who need it. Your gift allows young followers of Jesus Christ to grow academically, socially, and spiritually in a loving, diverse, and faith-building environment that will impact their lives inside and outside of school.
We ask that you prayerfully consider giving to Halifax Christian Academy in the coming days before the end of 2022 (as a registered charity, all donations to HCA will contribute towards your 2022 charitable tax credit).
Together, we can create a hopeful and encouraging future for students who seek to live out their faith in 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does HCA need to fundraise?
Halifax Christian Academy's tuition payments only partially fund the school's operational costs. Tuition and fees amount to approximately 76% of HCA’s total budget. Fundraising, offerings, and CSF bursaries generate under 7% of the school’s revenue. This year, we will need to raise over $200,000 to bridge the gap between costs and revenue.
Our desire is to continue to provide affordable Christian education to as many students who wish to attend a Christian faith-based school as possible. Your donation to HCA makes this feasible and continues the work of Christian education in Halifax year after year.
