Academics at Heritage Christian School

The classroom environment is structured with active learning. Children are taught to love their neighbor and respect one another. This creates a secure and safe learning environment. The HCS classroom environment is engaging, rigorous and Jesus-centered. Differentiated instruction, hands-on activities, and technology help create a more effective learning environment.

Our teachers are committed to student success academically and spiritually. Teachers set goals each year committing to assist students in their academic and spiritual growth. Our HCS teachers do a wonderful job building relationships with their students. They are creative problem-solvers, excellent communicators, and understand the importance of meeting students where they are at in their learning. Each classroom feels like a small community.

In our HCS classrooms, our teachers care about the whole child – their spirituality, academics, and extracurricular activities. Measuring the success of these areas is different for each child. We are confident that data will show continuous growth as well as student interactions with one another and their teachers.

Smaller class sizes provide ample opportunity to differentiate student learning, engage in more personal conversations with students, and allow more time to work through academic, organizational, and social skills individually. When class sizes are smaller, our faculty are able to better meet the needs of each student and get to know them on a deeper level – academically, spiritually and emotionally.

Consistency is very beneficial as teachers learn and have strong knowledge of the curriculum, which helps them to recognize where and how improvements are necessary. Longevity also builds community among faculty and staff, which benefits students in experiencing a caring culture. With years of experience, teachers have a toolbox of ideas and personal experiences to pull from when teaching and building relationships
