Heritage Christian School is a non-denominational, evangelical Christian school for parents who are genuine believers in Jesus Christ.
Heritage is accredited in grades Kindergarten through twelve by AdvancED and the Association of Christian Schools International, of which it has been an accredited member since 1994. Our guiding vision is to raise up a generation "whose God is the Lord" by instilling in the hearts and minds of our students a passionate and holy fear of the Lord.
This being the case, we aim to provide thorough biblical instruction that relates to the whole of life in a learning environment that it is safe, secure, and conditioned by His word.
