Heritage Christian Academy

I went to this school from preK to 7th grade and absolutely hated it! my parents were members of the church and the teachers definately play favorites! most of the teachers are members of the church and they treat the chuch kids better. classes are WAY too small as you get into high school (7th-12th) the classes have 7-10 students. HCAs academics are fine in the younger grades, but when you get into real high school greades (9-12) you dont technically get credits. HCA excels in English but everything else is very far behind. when i transferred to a public school i found that in english i was advanced but in everything else i was VERY behind especially math. also you dont get to pick electives..you take the same thing every year, and since your class stays together for everything you dont socialize with other grade levels except between classes and lunch which isnt very good for a social life and doesnt help you learn to make new friends. kids that go to the church also think they are better and can do whatever they want. they are snooty and will do anything to make you feel uncomfortable. overall i hated heritage and dont reccomemend anyone to put their child in this school.

I cannot say enough good things about Heritage Christain Academy! My daughter began the preschool program last year and her teacher and teacher's assistant were truly a blessing to my daughter, as well as my family. I don t think I have ever seen teachers that are so loving, caring and devoted to their students. Additionally, we were continuously amazed at all of the things she was learning throughout the year. My daughter has continued to stay at Heritage in the summer care program and loves it and cannot wait to start K-4 in a couple of weeks!

I am so thankful for HCA. This is a God Focused school that teaches children how to apply scripture to their daily lives. What a blessing it is to hear 3 year olds quoting scripture from memory. The staff at HCA are very loving,dedicated to teaching, and set a Godly example for the children. My 3 year old finished the year knowing his colors, reciting ABC's, learning shapes and much more but most of all growing in the Lord. Great School =)

I am so very pleased with my son being at HCA. They teach and practice the same biblical values as we do at home. My son is 3 and has already memorized numerous bible verses, prayer and blessing. There is currently 8 children in the K3 class and Mrs. Crump knows and loves them all. There is quite no one like her. She is the most loving, caring and patient teacher I have ever known. All the children just adore her. I could not ask for a better preschool environment for my son to be in.

my husband and i know that we made the right choice for our child. the preschool program is the best. our son comes home daily telling us all that he has learned. all the children seem very loved and treated with love and compassion. along with abc's and numbers, my son is able to recite bible verses! we are very happy with the foundation that our son is getting. i know we will be getting the same quality of education next year in the 4 year old program!

Since we were not members of the church, I discussed with the Administrator if there would be an difficulties for my child before we enrolled. I was assured by HCA staff that you do not have to join the church to attend the school. My child attended HCA for one year. It seemed like the school favored 'staff children' and children who attended the church. Also whenever there was an issue in the classroom (high school) it was my child that was to blame. I did not see any difference in teacher quality, leadership or parent involvement than in the Public Schools. If you plan on attending HCA, please talk to parents outside of the HCA community first.

If your child is in preschool and your tuition is 4,000.00 yearly, then the payments are broken down into 10 monthly payments which are 400.00 a month. I am sure that you were given this information when you signed your child up, I was. Sounds to me that you owe the school May's tuition. The rest of us paid ours!

The school has MAJOR financial issues that I wholeheartedly believe should be audited!! They close too frequently without regard to the parents schedule! We pulled our children out early since the full May tuition only covered our kids until May 13th @ 12 noon (the last day of school). Although Heritage teaches the kids great values, I am not impressed with the scholastic capabilities of this school. I feel like my kids are excelling in some areas while lacking in others. Time will tell next school year in public school.

Too judgmental! They will fundraiser you to death. The principal does not speak or interact with parents as he should and some teachers only speak to certain families. My son will be moving at the end of the school year. Different strokes for different folks!

Heritage has a wonderful K-3 and K-4 program that I feel both my children have benefited greatly from. One child has moved on to the local magnet school and is leap ahead of the other kids because of what was learned while at Heritage. The teachers have been very caring, comforting and encouraging to the kids in both their academic and personal lives. While I personally am not a religious person, I have found that this has been a nice way for my kids to be introduced to this aspect of a persons life and will make them more well rounded . We discuss things at home that they have questions on or need clarification on. I HIGHLY recommend this school for its kindergarten program as it is a foundation for life; you get one shot to give them the best and this is it.
