After several years of planning for a viable option for our nontraditional students, the Houma Christian School Blended Academy was born. We knew we needed to develop a quality program that met the specific needs of those students who did not necessarily fit in the traditional educational setting but still desired to be a part of the Warrior family. After much prayer, planning, and research; God opened the door for the Blended Academy. At HCS, we are proud of the outstanding faith-based academic programs we have solidly in place. We understand that the traditional model of learning does not always work for every student and family. The HCS Blended program provides an environment that allows for flexibility in instructional time and learning opportunities. We recognize that digital learning or online education is rapidly growing across the country to meet the needs of those families. Our program will meet these needs while not compromising our HCS Mission Statement which combines a high-quality academic program with the teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Houma Christian School Blended Academy is built on a quality online curriculum that closely matches the rigor of our traditional curriculum that is already in place at HCS. The learning environment will also have a nontraditional look to the classroom. The Blended Academy class more resembles that of a living room than a traditional classroom trading desks for sofas and tables. Blended students have a similar curriculum schedule as their traditional peers, but have much more flexibility and autonomy over which lessons, readings, and activities they complete each day. They also have the benefit of more ownership over their daily curriculum which will lead to a more independent learner.
