About Us

Indigenous Education

About Our Royal School

Harvest Christian University Philosophy


(HCU) believes that the greatest legacy any individual can leave is to teach others who they are and what they do. This philosophy stems from the idea that knowledge, wisdom, and life experiences are best shared through storytelling, humility, and inspiration. At HCU, the human experience is regarded as the most profound teacher, and those who have lived it—professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, entertainers, inventors, and leaders—are uniquely positioned to pass on their insights. 

​

Teaching is not just about facts or theories; it is about sharing a piece of oneself to inspire others. HCU emphasizes that Indigenous teaching thrives when led by those with real-world expertise and a deep connection to humanity. Educators who have walked the paths of success in their respective fields bring invaluable lessons that cannot be replicated in traditional academic settings. These individuals teach not only skills but also values such as perseverance, creativity, and cultural pride. By integrating professional acumen with Indigenous storytelling traditions, HCU fosters an educational environment where students learn from lived experiences rather than abstract concepts alone.

At HCU, the belief that education extends beyond traditional classrooms is central to its mission. This is why the university proudly awards honorary degrees in academics and the arts—to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to their fields and communities. By celebrating professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives who exemplify both excellence and humanity, HCU honors the transformative power of lived experience.

The university views teaching as an act of humility and service, grounded in the idea that personal stories—rich with success, struggle, and growth—can inspire others to dream bigger and reach further. Drawing from Indigenous traditions that value storytelling as a vessel for knowledge and wisdom, HCU encourages educators to lead with authenticity and heart.

Through this approach, students gain more than technical skills—they acquire the insight and resilience needed to navigate real-world challenges. HCU believes experience is the best teacher, and by uplifting diverse voices and life journeys, it fosters a dynamic, inclusive learning community. This commitment to honoring lived experiences bridges ancestral knowledge with contemporary education, cultivating leaders who are prepared to make meaningful contributions both locally and globally.
