Rationale

Although there are already a number of schools, both private and public, offering their services to provide education to pre elementary and elementary ages, the demand to put up another school, offering the same courses, could not be ignored. We observe overloading in public school classroom. Hence, public school teachers are overloaded and could hardly deliver quality education. Whereas in the private schools, they may be providing quality education but their fees are afforded by the elite class only. HCAI offers this courses ensuring not only quality but affordability, as well. Being the educational arm of the Philippine Faith Mission, Inc., a religious organization registered with the SEC, it will be supplemented with other financial requirements to sustain its operation and even child sponsorship program to accommodate children who belong to the poorest of the poor members of our society.

Mission

The primary objective of the school is to establish, support and maintain a school of learning which is dedicated to serve children of pre-elementary/elementary age in the development of their highest potentials. It is geared toward the inculcation of Christian values among Filipino children and youth as a basic foundation of becoming productive citizens of our country and the Kingdom of God. Our program of activities were organized and directed toward effective social and Christian living. The curriculum, through its learning areas, provides for infinite opportunities of concrete learning as the child experiments, explores, probes, creates and uses his full potentials in gaining development and experience. Pursuant to the curriculum sources prescribed by DepEd, it shall maintain with adequate funds, facilities and personnel in its continuing program of education, with authority from the government, the school shall:

1. Award and otherwise issue appropriate certificates and/or diploma of completion for courses of instructions as may be taught therein pursuant to law;

2. Receive and acquire from any person or entity, whether resident or non-resident of the Philippines by donation, grant, endorsement, trust, lease, gift or purchase, money, lands and other property or interest therein, which shall be used exclusively to carry out the objective and purpose of the institution;

3. Prescribe and enforce such rules and regulations necessary and proper and not contrary to the law, in the admission of students as well as in the governance of their conduct and behavior while in attendance thereat and;
