Accessible Staff & Teachers
HDA teachers are accessible to our students & parents. Due to the unique nature of the campus community and small class sizes, teachers are able to make themselves available throughout the day for one-on-one help, conversation, and discipleship. Additional teacher’s assistants and tutors are utilized to alleviate teachers even more during class time and provide additional help to students.
