About Us
Harvest Christian School opened its doors as New Life Christian Academy on October 12, 1984. They began meeting in the Shepherd's Inn near Finlayson, MN. Administrator Dick Case taught grades 4-6, Bernie Oldencamp taught grades 1-3, and Celia Winsor taught kindergarten. On January 8, 1985, the board voted to change the school's name. Evidently, another school was already named "New Life Christian Academy."
Classes were held in many places in the first 15 years. These included: The Shepherd's Inn, St. John's Lutheran Church in Finlayson, Hinckley Evangelical Free Church, The Church of Victory, and Community Worship Center. In 1994, HCS acquired a building and land in Sandstone that had been owned by the Sandstone Youth Center. The existing building had been an old depot building in Bruno, MN. The Depot was used for school until there was a building project in 1999-2001. That building project added the current High School building. Classes began there in February of 2001. The Depot is still used for most elementary classes.
Since 2001, Harvest has added to our teaching staff. We now employ 8 full time teachers and 4 part-time teachers. Harvest has now grown to offer 3-yr-old preschool through 12th grade classes. We have talented staff and teachers that have shown they can provide superior students that not only are educated from a Christian world view, but are scoring above and beyond their peers.
We are committed to offering a quality Christian education for our students. It is our pleasure to serve God through education and our families, churches, and communities.
