Welcome to Heritage

Thank you for taking the time to discover more about Heritage. Like many parents, my wife and I found it challenging to find a school for our children in Atlanta that had the unique balance of stellar academics, authentic Christ-centered teachers, and a community of like-minded parents and friends.

In a culture of mediocrity, we discovered Heritage to be a genuine place of excellence and high standards where truth, beauty, and excellence are consistently sought from the classroom to the playground. Heritage’s educational approach is specifically classical where the best of Western art, literature, and scholarship is systematically studied to best prepare students for a modern future. Charlotte Mason, the renowned turn of the century educator, informs the methods we use to teach, ensuring Heritage is an environment of joyful discovery.

Is it working? Academically, we consistently score in the top rankings of standardized tests. It is not uncommon to hear from a parent that a stranger commented on their child’s manners and confidence. Discipline is not an issue and cliques do not exist. Most impressive of all is the depth and maturity these students possess in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

The best way to find out about a school is to ask around. Don’t ask me (although I like nothing more than to talk to newcomers about our school!). Ask our parents. Ask people in the community. Find out whether our words are matched by our deeds. That’s the right measure of a school.

If you are in the area, please stop by for a personal tour. I look forward to meeting you.

With warm personal regards,

Rev. Dr. W. Davies Owens
Head of School
