VISION & VALUES
Our vision and mission stand at the core of who we are.
We believe that education is a feast, and that you have a seat at the table. You have received a great inheritance—intellectually, spiritually, and culturally. You belong to a family, a history, and a place. Your call is to steward this inheritance for the renewal of all things.
What if your education discipled you along this journey?
Welcome...
What story are you living in?
We believe that a good education not only shapes how we learn, but how we live. Heritage Academy is not only a school; it is a community of people in pursuit of a life lived joyfully, generously, and beautifully.
It is a difficult time to be a human being—the world is distracted, hurried, lonely, and afraid. At Heritage Academy, we believe there is a better story, a better inheritance. We founded Heritage Academy as a learning community that is longing for and creating what is beautiful, good, and true. Heritage is a place where young people become the people the world is longing for. This is our investment.
Will you join us in this story?

VALUES
-
We foster an environment that welcomes all, both within and without, into rhythms of connection, celebration, and rest.
-
We learn and lead with generosity; generosity is a fruit of mature discipleship—a life lived in humility, rooted in trust, cultivated through gratitude, and positioned to be generative, to make things of the world, for the world.
-
We believe beholding and creating beauty is intricately tied to our calling as divine image-bearers and co-creators. Beauty powerfully draws us into a narrative larger and more hopeful than ourselves. We affirm that a people tethered to beauty is a people that dares to hope.
-
We prioritize practices and decisions to ensure the long-term health, well-being, and flourishing of individuals, communities, and the environment. We responsibly steward resources and relationships, both natural and human, in order to grow at the pace of health.
-
We are committed to a culture of honesty and authenticity. The best way to become is to do; there is no pretending, only practicing. We desire our work to be contextualized in community.
Heritage Academy is founded on the belief that we all are called toward a fruitful and faithful life lived out of the abundance of our inheritance in Christ Jesus. This inheritance is intellectual, spiritual, and cultural: our intellectual inheritance in the liberal arts tradition, the spiritual inheritance of Christianity, and the cultural inheritance of the land upon which we live and depend.
Heritage Academy invites the members of this community to live the gospel story of redemption and renewal. We believe to holistically educate young people is to cultivate renewal of the mind, the heart, and the land.
