Is it possible to find a school that shares your priorities?

You want your child to be ROOTED in a deep love for Jesus. This is your family’s number one goal.

 

You want your child to be KNOWN. Your prayer is for a community of like-minded teachers and friends to come alongside him or her for mentoring, accountability, encouragement, and support.

 

You want your child to be ENGAGED in an excellent education. You understand the importance of quality academics and want your child to be well-prepared for each stage of the educational journey, all the way through college and beyond.

 

You want your child to be INSPIRED to make a difference. You know education shouldn’t only be about intake of information, but also a motivating call to impact the world from simple to profound ways.

It is. Because this is also our vision.

Why consider Christian education?

Children spend the best eight of their waking hours in school, significantly influenced by teachers, peers, and curriculum. By high school graduation, they will have spent over 18,000 hours in school. These hours shape your child’s thoughts, habits, character, and future during their most formative years.

At Christian Heritage Academy, we view the opportunity to invest in your child as a partnership in stewarding one of your most precious gifts. Our students are immersed in a Christ-centered learning environment with “Living Curriculum” teachers and mentors who care deeply about the whole child. The result has been not only outstanding academic performance and college preparation but students who love God, are equipped to serve others, and make a kingdom impact with their lives. It’s a wonderful outcome of aligned priorities at home and school.
