Core Values/ Mission
The LHCA Way
Our programme is built around the concept that children are born ready to learn.
At Learning Hive Christian Academy, we hold firmly to the philosophy that children learn best through rich interaction with their peers and adult mentors; and their learning increases when they are engaged in activities that have meaning to them.
TRUSTWORTHINESS
RESPECT
TEAMWORK
Our Core Values
- QUALITY: We believe every child deserves excellent early education and ongoing enrichment programs to make a difference in their lives and their community. Thus, it is our priority to provide a unique and well-rounded curriculum thought by experienced and brilliant tutors to make this possible. “You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.” - James 2:24
- SERVICE: We believe children and their families are unique, and we make it our job not only to understand and appreciate them but to meet their individual needs as well. We are always available to cater to each child and family as is required. “In the same way, let your light shine before men…” - Matthew 5:16
- TEAMWORK: We believe working together with children, families and our staff results in children being more than adequately prepared for academic and lifelong success. A sense of partnership between our team and the families that we serve helps with the journey towards a common goal. “As it is, there are many parts, but one body.” - 1st Corinthians 12:20
- TRUSTWORTHINESS: We believe in an honest and truthful approach in all our methods of operation. Demonstrating integrity in all our relationships is vital to our process. “In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned…” - Titus 2: 7-8
- RESPECT: We believe respect is essential to building the relationships that are critical to the success of our children, our families, and the Learning Hive Center. We are strong believers in treating others the way we want to be treated. “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…” - Matthew 7:12

The Learning Hive Christian Academy Culture
Biblical Values
LHCA Board members, Administrators, Faculty and Staff strive to live according to the values contained in the Bible by relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. Through formal teaching and example, they seek to encourage students and their families to live according to the same Biblical values.
Volunteerism
LHCA encourages and relies on volunteer service from students and their families. Serving others without reward is encouraged in the Bible and a mark of Christian maturity.
Volunteer service opportunities will be provided for students and individual person volunteer activity will be encouraged. Each parent is encouraged to volunteer through school organizations such as Charity Week, School Bazaar and Fairs, End of Year Productions, Family Day, Sports Day and field trips.
Communication
LHCA expects all communication on the part of all school employees, students, school families and stakeholders to be Honest, Direct and Respectful. Honest means speaking truthfully in all settings and all audiences. Direct means speaking clearly and completely, only to the “right” people. Direct communication increases understanding and eliminates gossip and slander. Respectfully means being respectful of others and their perspectives even when you disagree and their behavior is inappropriate.
Various communication channels and the procedures for parents communicating concerns about their students or the school will be addressed later in this handbook under the heading “Communication.”
