College Counseling
Preparing for Your Future
Preparing for college begins long before senior year. At Heritage Preparatory School, we guide students from their earliest high school years through thoughtful academic planning and personal mentorship. Our goal is to help students cultivate their God-given talents and make informed decisions about their future.
Through a rigorous classical education, students read over 75 great works of literature before graduation. From Steinbeck and Hemingway to Plato and Augustine, they engage a wide range of voices that shape their ability to think deeply and communicate clearly. In their senior year, students complete a capstone thesis, writing a 5,500-word paper and delivering an hour-long oral defense before faculty and community experts.
The College and Academic Counseling Office provides personalized support throughout high school. Counselors help students create a four-year academic plan that aligns with their strengths and college goals, encouraging ownership and wise decision-making along the way.
Heritage students consistently perform at a high level. The average ACT score for the inaugural graduating class was in the 90th percentile. While AP courses are not part of the core curriculum, students may choose to sit for exams independently. In 2023, nine students took the AP History exam and averaged in the 90th percentile.
Graduates leave Heritage with advanced knowledge of Latin, Art, and Classical Music, and with a clear sense of calling. They are prepared for higher education, rooted in truth, and equipped to lead lives of purpose.
At Heritage Preparatory School, our students are faithfully prepared to pursue higher education at some of the nation’s most respected institutions. Through a Christ-centered classical education, they develop the wisdom, character, and academic excellence needed to thrive in college and beyond. Our graduates have been accepted to a diverse range of universities, including top-tier research institutions, renowned liberal arts colleges, and faith-based universities that align with their values.
