8th gr engineers know that good design is in the details. Congratulations to our bridge design winners Scarlett, Giulia, and Dominic whose bridge was the 2nd lightest at 17.9 grams but held the maximum weight (2000 grams) and stayed within the assigned budget!

HFCA has the best teachers! Thanks for the fun send-off and all you do for our students to keep them curious and engaged IB learners every day of the year!

We welcome back the HFCA Class of 2020 for our 1st Annual Alumni Walk-through! It was a fantastic reunion. Due to COVID, this class missed some traditions including the cap toss but made up for it on Friday. Advice to 8th graders: "High school isn’t hard *if* you go to HFCA."

In honor of National Reading Month, our innovative 1st gr. teachers transformed their classrooms into Camps Read-A-Lot. Such a creative way to engage our young learners as they read their books in the comfort of their own "tents."

HFCA is committed to developing the whole child and expanding learning outside the classroom--literally and figuratively. 5th and 6th gr embark on a 3-day 2-night unplugged outdoor ed adventure that fosters team building, life skills, and science found in nature. TY Teachers!

Fantastic day exploring their IB Unit 'How the World Works' with 3rd grade! Thanks @chicagowolves for hosting Get Schooled by Skates! Connecting hockey with physics made learning about force, motion, friction, potential, and kinetic energy a blast! TY to our innovative teachers!
