HERITAGE BAPTIST ACADEMY
With over 4 decades of experience, Heritage Baptist Academy provides an excellent, hands-on education to children from kindergarten through high school. We offer small class sizes and one-on-one learning for students of all skill levels and learning styles.
EDUCATION AS IT SHOULD BE
We have established Heritage Baptist Academy as a ministry of Heritage Baptist Church to benefit families with a place to properly give their children a Christian education. As a Christian school, we have established this ministry outside of the control of the state so that we may design a program and conduct all procedures as we feel God would have us. We are not a reform school or simply another option to the public school system.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
To provide an atmosphere that is consistently conducive to Christian learning
To instill in the students a desire to learn
To help students understand the importance of and aid them in the mastery of communication
To assist them in recognizing and developing students' God-given talents and abilities and determining to use them for the glory of God.
To produce young people who have "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." Luke 2:52
OUR VALUES
We believe that the school is an extension of the home and church working together to strengthen the child academically, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and socially. We believe that the home environment is a large contributor to the academic and spiritual success of each student.We are honored that you have taken the time to explore our website. Feel free to contact us with any questions!
OUR SCHOOL
Attendance at Heritage Baptist Academy is a privilege and not a right. Therefore, students and parents are expected to support the academy to ensure admission and continued enrollment in the school. We expect the children to be respectful to authority, control their behavior, and perform to the best of their academic ability. HBA has the right to refuse or ask students to leave if we feel they are not ready for such an organized and structured environment. The intention of this program is to challenge and stretch a student. This is to ensure that each student receives the best education possible while at HBA.
