Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Heritage Academy is improving the education of children who are typically zoned for poor performing schools with high incidence of behavioral misconduct. We also are addressing the spiritual development of the children through Bible instruction and Christian community.
Both of these efforts lead to am improved quality of life for the children and their families.

Our strategies include:
-a rigorous curriculum with scaffolded support
-a caring and committed staff who will do whatever it takes
-implementation of best practices in instruction
-an active arts program
-involvement of community in providing scholarships and positive afterschool programs and summer camp experiences

Heritage Academy is committed to executing its program with excellence. Our staff is chosen for its credentials, calling and commitment for executing the mission of the school. The undergo continuous professional development to keep current with best practices. They collaborate weekly to stay informed about the children they serve.
The development office is active in getting the message about our mission to the community. We actively recruit more Georgia citizens to participate in the tax credit scholarship program.

In the last two years, we have gone from being a one-building school (our K-8 building) to now being a five-building campus. This includes our K-8 building (the historic Houghton School building), our new gymnasium, our early learning academy, our administrative building and our intervention cottage.
