HERITAGE ACADEMY opened on September 2, 2008 at Union Presbyterian Church with two staff members, eleven full-time and seven part-time students. We welcomed students into two combination classrooms: grades 2-3 and grades 4-6. Each child brought his/her own learning style, personality, strengths, and learning challenges. A five-person Board of Directors was established, and, along with a committee of interested parents, wrote the HERITAGE ACADEMY mission statement articulating the school’s focus:

HERITAGE ACADEMY exists to partner with parents in raising up excited learners who grow as Christ-lovers and to foster a community where kids are known.

HERITAGE ACADEMY is now at full student capacity with 13 staff members who service grades Kindergarten through 6th. The Kindergarten through 3rd grade classes are self-contained, and 4th-6th students exchange classes amongst three teachers who teach to their expertise. As you enter each room you will encounter happy, engaged students intent on learning. Small class sizes, passionate teachers, stunning curriculum, involved parents, and an open-door administration policy have proven to be the keys to raising up excited learners at HERITAGE ACADEMY. The students work diligently as they move from one subject to the next directed by teachers who are constantly moving about the room to guide the student learning. For example, students spend very little time with an incorrect answer in math; the teacher has corrected errors over his/her shoulder before s/he moves on to the next page. Because of this dedicated work each day, homework is limited to the absolute essentials. No busy work is ever sent home to impose on precious family time.
