A fundamental belief - that each human being is created in the image of God - provides the strong spiritual underpinning for the mission of Happy Hill Farm Academy/Home to serve children in crisis and to strengthen families. Socially and academically disadvantaged boys and girls - regardless of their religion,race,national origin,or gender - are given the opportunity to live, work, and study in a year-round, residential school/farm setting. A balance is taught between the spiritual, academic, and practical in order for the students to prepare themselves effectively to assume their role in society as productive citizens while engaged in their chosen professions.
