Alma Heights provides nurturing, Christian training in academics, visual and performing arts, and athletics.  We provide an advanced core of high school courses, and our students are accepted to many of the greatest colleges and universities in the nation (see list below)  We also provide caring instruction for students who may not choose to pursue higher level academics; however, a strong majority move on to achieve college degrees.    We accept international students, and host families are recruited from the school community. We train students in logic and other critical thinking skills, in reading of the great texts, and in clearly communicating their ideas.   Our math and science programs produce students that are accepted into technical programs at UC Davis, UC Berkeley, and Cal Poly.   Alma Heights is accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
