Academics

Pre-school

3-yr. old class meets Tue./Thur. from 8:30 – 11:20 am

4-yr. old class meets M/W/F from 8:30 – 11:20 am

Our pre-school classes focus on letter sounds, number and color words, shapes, motor skills, calendar events (days of the week, seasons, etc.) and socialization skills.

Kindergarten

Meets M-F from 8:30 – 11:30 am

Kindergarten students are taught from a strongly phonics based program, learning the short and long vowels, consonants, and phonics rules so that they will be reading by the end of the kindergarten program.  We also emphasize math, science, social studies, art and music.

Elementary

Our elementary program has a strong core content comprised of reading, spelling, English, math, science and history. Each grade also profits from music, art, computer, library, and PE classes.

Middle School

Middle School students take classes in English (grammar,  literature, and writing), math (basic math, pre-algebra, algebra I), science, history & geography, Spanish, PE, Accelerated Reader, and computer.

Most of our curriculum materials come from Bob Jones University Press and A Beka Books.  We are grateful for their Christian perspective, particularly in Science and History.  We do use other publishers’ curricula.

One of the hallmarks of Heritage Christian School has been academic excellence.  The keys to that success have been an excellent faculty, quality curriculum materials, dedicated parents, and a good work ethic.  All of those factors have combined to produce outstanding test scores year after year.

Achievement Tests

Every spring our students take nationally standardized achievement tests.  Scores from these tests are reported in national percentiles with a score of 50 being the national average.  A score of 80 represents a score in the top 20% of students nationwide.  A total battery score is a compilation of scores in Reading, Language and Math.  The chart below shows the average total battery score over the last 15 years for each grade.  We’re very grateful to God for such a good academic record!
