Hope Christian Academy vs. Trinity Elementary North School

Hope Christian Academy was founded in 1981 as a non-denominational school for students in preschool through grade eight.

HCA is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, the North Dakota High School Activities Association and is approved by the State of North Dakota.

All instructors are certified through accredited colleges and universities. The purpose of Hope Christian Academy is to teach that the Lord Jesus Christ is preeminent in every aspect of life, including education.

This comprehensive principle underlies every aspect of academic study, each activity, and all of school life.

There is a clear, critical difference between the Biblical and secular viewpoints on a subject.

Even though the facts of knowledge are identical for both, Hope Christian Academy teaches that no subject can be taught in the totality of its truth when the Creator is denied or ignored.

Knowledge is purified by sound academic education and a wholesome activity program which are integrated with a Biblical viewpoint.

Hope Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

Trinity High School is a Catholic high school with grades 7-12 located in Dickinson, North Dakota.

Our mission is to develop our students spiritually, mentally and physically in a Christ centered environment.

Trinity believes catholic education is important for the enrichment of individuals, families, society and of the Church; Christian formation of the total human being is essential to our existence as a Catholic school; we must be a community whose values are communicated through the inter-personal relationships of students, staff and parents; and we should provide experiences in school which will make it possible for students to become literate in various forms of learning, and that we have a responsiblity to help students learn to think independently and logically leading, to a mature faith.

Christian formation is an important part of education at Trinity.

Trinity's program is structured to provide spiritual, academic, social, physical and emotional growth through its academic courses, school liturgies, holy day celebrations, retreats, penance services, classroom activities and cocurriculars.
