Curriculum Overview

Heritage offers an academically accelerated preparatory school education with a Christ-centered worldview that is integrated into each class and subject taught.  Education at Heritage, while non-denominational, is grounded in the truth of the Bible and the fervent desire that our students learn to think critically and redemptively as they fulfill their God-given calling.

The content of our curriculum is informed by the classical philosophy of education.  This content centers on the seven liberal arts as they encompass the history, literature, mathematics, sciences, arts, music, and cultural heritage of Western civilization.

The methodology of our curriculum is informed by the writings of Charlotte Mason.  Our Charlotte Mason philosophy of education is reflected in our focus on the formation of good habits, as well as our use of narration, nature studies, picture studies, and composer studies.

Consistent with the philosophical foundations of our content and methodology, Heritage also embraces the study of Latin, a complete phonics program, recitation, spiraled math, literature-based language arts, formal logic, art & art history, physical education, and manners & character development.  A special comment could be made about our literature selections.  Consistent with the content and methods of our curriculum, we purposely select literature and texts that contain living ideas that have endured as part of the conversation of ideas throughout the course of Western civilization.  Consequently, “living” or “great” books are carefully integrated into all of our classes.
