Heritage Christian School is dedicated to educating the whole person; spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical.
Because man was created a spiritual being whose chief purpose in life is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever, Heritage Christian School is committed to leading each student into a vital personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to training the student to serve Christ in every area of life. Such service will encompass family, church, nation, and world.
Because man was created a rational being, Heritage Christian School is committed to teaching and training the student: "to think God's thoughts after Him," and to "bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." This will be accomplished by comprehensive biblical integration in every academic discipline and a focus on understanding the Scriptures and applying them to every facet of life.
Moreover, the student will be prepared through a rigorous and comprehensive academic program and extracurricular activities to fulfill his calling as he takes his place in home, church, and state and determines his vocation or profession. Each teacher will seek to develop within the student an inquiring mind and a mastery of the necessary skills for the purpose of applying their knowledge to the service of both God and man. Because learning is a life long process, the educational program at Heritage Christian School seeks to foster in the students a love of learning and a desire to know God more fully as He has revealed Himself in both nature and the Scriptures.
Because man was created an emotional being, Heritage Christian School is committed to developing within the student an emotional and psychological wholeness as reflected by appropriate self-assessment. This means that students are taught to recognize the unique capabilities and limitations with which they have been endowed by their Creator. They are also taught to respond biblically in their actions and interactions with others in the diverse circumstances of life. The student is taught to be obedient to the two greatest commandments as set forth by Christ, namely:
Because God created man a physical being, his body forms a part of his essence and is a gift from God. Therefore, the body is not to be rejected nor is it to be worshipped. Rather, the Christian's duty is to understand, care for, and develop it in discipline. The body of the Christian is the dwelling place of God's Holy Spirit. As such, it is offered up to God for His use.
The educational program at Heritage Christian School is dedicated to doing all things for the glory of God. Therefore, there will be no place for mediocrity in any part of the school program or in student performance. All members of the staff and student body will be expected to perform their responsibilities to the best of their God given abilities. The aim of Heritage Christian School is to achieve excellence throughout the educational program.
Heritage Christian School recognizes that parents have the primary responsibility for their student's education and we are merely assisting them. Thus, we encourage a close relationship between parents and the school.
