Our History

Horse Creek Academy was founded in 2002 under the name Midland Valley Preparatory School in Graniteville, S.C.  A small institution, it started with a low number of students in grades 4K-6 set up in small portable units.  The closeness of the faculty, staff, students and parents fostered a supportive community that was in tune with every child’s individual educational experience.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create an innovative and challenging learning environment that teaches the whole learner through the pillars of connection, flexibility, and service.

Inclusion at HCA

The Board of Directors for Horse Creek Academy and the HCA leadership team emphasize our core belief to educate every child and the whole child, without exception to race, culture, creed, citizenship, social-economic status, disability, sexual orientation or identity.  We stand with open arms to welcome all students, families, and staff who come to our community and our school.  Without reservation we will bring to bear all our resources to educate each child who walks through our doors.  We invite all to come!  All who join us will find that because of our diversity, we will have one thing in common – we will all be enriched by it. We recognize current and historic bias and purposefully move above possible discourse to dedicate our focus to promoting excellence and equity for every single student.
