​

Heritage Academy is 

​​A Christian Education Ministry. 

 

Heritage Academy is located at the corner of Thigpen Trail and Funston-Sale City Road.

 

Heritage Academy is housed on property donated to Poplar Arbor Church by the Robert Moss Family.  Over the last century, this location has been home to several schools, a store, a food bank, and a multi-purpose building for Poplar Arbor Church.   

 

Heritage Academy has grown through local support and volunteers that look forward to the benefits of our unique program. We are a Christian school and we use a distinctly Bible-based curriculum.  We neither promote nor disrespect the beliefs of any Christian church or denomination. We are not evangelistic in our general mission but all that we do serves to promote and highlight the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are Christian in our foundational beliefs and in our day-to-day operations.

 

Heritage Academy seeks to augment the student's family and church by providing a Christ-centered atmosphere in which their children can learn the academic subjects while also growing  and maturing into strong, confident Christians with a biblical worldview. It is our desire to be a light in our community by "Preparing the next generation."

​

Heritage Academy offers a K-12 instructional program which relies upon learning through self-instructional materials requiring a minimum of adult supervision while enabling students with varied abilities to advance academically at a pace which is suited to their ability.  We believe that God creates each individual uniquely with specific strengths, gifts and talents.  We encourage our students to trust God with their abilities and to seek out His purpose for their life. 

Heritage Academy uses an individualized approach to learning. In the traditional education model, a student is often hampered by being grouped into levels according to their chronological age.  Through national achievement tests and diagnostic testing at Heritage Academy,  our students are evaluated relative to their own specific cognitive skills.  This makes it possible to prescribe a curriculum at their actual level of academic acumen.  We do not use a "One size fits all" approach to learning.

 

Heritage Academy sets a student’s level of expectation by that student's ability, not by their age.

Heritage Academy uses the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) curriculum in order to meet the individual student’s needs. This program is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and uses character-training   at its core; it is also a mastery-based program.  Students must master their lesson material before advancing further. Students learn at their own pace and some may move ahead rapidly while others   are allowed to take longer, depending upon their own specific abilities and their level of motivation

 

Heritage Academy believes that "learning is the constant." We tailor each student's requirements based upon that student's abilities.

 

Heritage Academy graduates have gone on to attend colleges and have also gained entry into promising careers. Others are raising families and are following the Lord's vision for their life. Our program seeks to prepare them for their next step, whatever that may be. 

 

Graduates of the A.C. E. program currently attend more than 1,000 colleges and universities globally with outstanding records of performance. Many are serving God on the mission field, either domestically or worldwide.

​

​Heritage Academy strives to keep the parents highly involved in the education of their children. Parents and grandparents are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom, extra-curricular activities, fundraising, field trips, and future school planning.  A specialized Parent Training Seminar is hosted at the beginning of each school year in order to assist new families with understanding the basics of our program.  Our families are important to us and to this community. 

 

We look forward to not only helping our students to succeed academically, but to augment their family and church life and to help them grow in the Lord as well.
