Our family loves Heritage Christian School! Our kids have been going here since Kindergarten and one will soon be graduating 8th grade. The curriculum is challenging but so good! The school teaches its students to be respectful to authority as well as fellow classmates. Christ-centered Biblical teaching through all subjects is a highlight and just what we wanted for our kids. We love Heritage and would recommend it to anyone looking for quality and Christ-based education.

Our family has experienced nearly every grade level at Heritage, and we are thrilled with the quality of Christ-centered education. The staff at Heritage truly care about each child's growth and development spiritually, academically, emotionally, and socially. Heritage also offers a number of sports that we have taken advantage of. Our kids look forward to their sports practices and games and have even competed for a few league championships! Overall, we are incredibly happy with Heritage and are excited to be a part of this community for many years to come.

My children have been enrolled here for 7+ years, and we have found this school to be an enormous blessing to us as we raise Godly children. It is Christ-centric in ways most Christian schools are not. It is VERY budget-friendly for those looking for private education. Just a wonderful school.

This is a school for parents who place priority in learning, moral behaivor and parent involvement. The children are bright, articulate, intelligent and motivated. This comes from a "team" effort on the part of parent and teachers. It is a must for those wanting more from their children.
