Elementary (Kindergarten through 8th grade)

The program and curriculum for elementary education at Heritage strives to provide each student with the opportunity to grow academically, spiritually, and socially, and physically. Curriculum is Christ-centered, integrating faith and values into all subjects. Elementary students wear a K-8th grade school uniform to help keep distractions to a minimum and encourage a strong academic focus.  We are COVID Careful at Heritage Christian School.
