Preparing next generation leaders for Christ

ABOUT HARBOR LIGHT CHRISTIAN SCHOOL Harbor Light Christian School (HLCS) was founded in 1985 as a nondenominational Christian School in Harbor Springs, MI. In FY 2020/2021, the school served 125 students and their families PreK through 12th grade. Over 20 area churches were represented at HLCS. The largest number of students were from Genesis, Harbor Light Community Chapel and Walloon Lake Community Church.

Our faculty and teachers are loving, committed to, and invested in our students. They teach with a biblical foundation and pray with their classes. They give our students the opportunity to grow in wisdom in a safe Christ-centered environment.

HLCS is governed by a school board comprised of six members from area churches.

YOUR GIFTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Harbor Light Christian School does not receive state or federal funding, which allows the freedoms of Bible-based curriculum and intentional Christian focus. The lack of government funding causes the need for tuition, fundraising, and gifts from generous donors.
