Statement of Purpose

The goal of Heritage Academy is to train youth in the highest principles of leadership, self-discipline, individual responsibility, personal integrity, good citizenship, and academic achievement.

The educational program is founded upon the concept that God is the Creator of all things and the sovereign ruler over all of life. This means that all that exists originated in God, continues through His sustaining power, and exists to glorify Him.

It is the purpose of Heritage Academy to provide a Christian education in a wholesome, Christian environment with an emphasis on academic excellence. It is our purpose at all times to meet and exceed the academic standards set by the state.

Philosophy

Heritage Academy anticipates being a wonderful place where your child will receive an education based on Biblical truth. We believe that the purpose of Christian education is to assist parents in training their children to be Christ-like. You will have the opportunity to be an integral part of your child’s education through serving in the classroom, chaperoning field trips, attending chapel programs, and special events.

For our elementary students, they will receive a strong foundation in basic academic skills. Our elementary curriculum stresses mastery in reading, writing, comprehension, study skills, critical thinking, problem solving and number skills. In addition to the basic curriculum, we also offer physical education, music, and art.

Middle school is a time of transition. For many students, the middle school years are marked by a time of developing responsibility and social relationships. Students are discovering their own strengths, talents, and interests. At Heritage Academy, the process of entering adolescence is carefully nurtured. All middle school students will grow in an understanding of God’s Word, which will provide guidance for the rest of their lives.

Our goal is to prepare students with the skills to become productive and responsible citizens in the twenty-first century. We want students to realize that God’s ultimate purpose for man is to develop each individual to his/her fullest capacity: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually (I Corinthians 10:31, Ecclesiastes 12:13). Students will have opportunities to seek and to know God’s will (Romans 12:12, II Timothy 2:16, Deuteronomy 16:17).

Parents and teachers will work cooperatively in the process of educating a child’s mind and heart (Deuteronomy 6:1-9, Ephesians 6:4). In the achievement of those goals, we will rely on the Bible as the spiritual guide. High educational standards and building a personal relationship with the Lord (Philippians 3:10) will flow naturally in a Christ-centered atmosphere.
