SPIRITUAL TITLE LIFE HEAD

Heritage Christian School is committed to the discipleship of our students. Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, or participating in an after school club, it is our desire that students would develop a genuine faith in Jesus Christ that leads them to live out our values - to Glorify God, Love Others, Pursue Excellence and Imitate Christ - as they serve their local church, community and the world.

We are intentional. In every classroom, teachers integrate a Christian worldview into their teaching and capitalize on teachable moments to connect the Bible to real life. Students at every grade level have a Bible class as a part of the curriculum.

We are deliberate. Chapel is a regular opportunity for students of all grade levels to experience worship, learn from the Bible, and hear the stories of people whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ. Additionally, we have designed opportunities for students to learn about Jesus Christ and love their classmates through service projects, after school clubs, and middle school/high school retreats.

We are relational. Heritage Christian teachers are known for being available to meet with students to help academically and spiritually. Many faculty members mentor students. Additionally, students can mentor younger students. In Middle school, each student is involved in a small group led by Heritage teachers and staff. In High school, students can participate in Bible studies and/or be paired with another peer for accountability and encouragement.
