Think with Excellence
As for literature- to introduce children to literature is to install them in a very rich and glorious kingdom, to bring a continuous holiday to their doors, to lay before them a feast exquisitely served.Charlotte Mason in a Philosophy of Education 1925
Thinking with excellence is a vision for every student to have a passion for knowledge and inquisitive thinking in order to be able to distinguish the true, good, and beautiful and apply that learning to daily life and future academic pursuits.
- Small Classes: Heritage's teacher to student ratio is small, 10:1. This enables individual attention and abundant opportunities for each student to participate and lead.
- Well-Trained Teachers: Our teachers are professional educators who love children. They are involved in ongoing training, and share a personal passion for learning and discovery.
- A Culture that Celebrates Thinking: Education moves from facts training to engaging students in conversations around living ideas. Heritage seeks to develop young scholars who are responsible, self-motivated, and intellectually curious.
- Classical Pedagogy: Heritage uses proven pedagogy that leverages the best content from Western civilization, that has endured the test of time, and that follows the natural learning abilities of the child.
- A Charlotte Mason Influence: Her methodology defines and informs Heritage’s emphasis on “the one who does the thinking does the learning.” Applying Ms. Mason’s influence, Heritage aims to instill personal virtues such as excellent manners and habits along with an interest in nature and picture studies.
