Heritage Academy

Welcome to Heritage Academy! We are delighted that you are interested in our school. This year we are proud to announce the addition of K-3 to our school. We are looking forward with anticipation to having a successful year. Heritage Academy is a ministry of Oasis World Outreach. We are striving to provide the best in quality Christian education. We also seek to provide love and total care based on individual attention in a Christian environment.

Our goal is to make your child’s school experience both happy and rewarding. We are proud of our school. School rules are accepted as a very important process of learning to respect authority. We are eagerly looking forward to your support as we endeavor to encourage wholesome attitudes and desirable habits. When a child observes the home and school “working together,” we then see positive things happen in that child’s life.

We extend a personal invitation to you to visit or call our school at any time. With your prayers and full cooperation, we expect each year to continue to be successful here at Heritage Academy.

Statement of Purpose

The goal of Heritage Academy is to train youth in the highest principles of leadership, self-discipline, individual responsibility, personal integrity, good citizenship, and academic achievement.

The educational program is founded upon the concept that God is the Creator of all things and the sovereign ruler over all of life. This means that all that exists originated in God, continues through His sustaining power, and exists to glorify Him.

It is the purpose of Heritage Academy to provide a Christian education in a wholesome, Christian environment with an emphasis on academic excellence. It is our purpose at all times to meet and exceed the academic standards set by the state.

Mission Statement

Heritage Academy, in partnership with home and church, seeks to prepare each student scholastically, socially, and spiritually for the challenges of the twenty-first century.

Philosophy

Heritage Academy anticipates being a wonderful place where your child will receive an education based on Biblical truth. We believe that the purpose of Christian education is to assist parents in training their children to be Christ-like. You will have the opportunity to be an integral part of your child’s education through serving in the classroom, chaperoning field trips, attending chapel programs, and special events.

For our elementary students, they will receive a strong foundation in basic academic skills. Our elementary curriculum stresses mastery in reading, writing, comprehension, study skills, critical thinking, problem solving and number skills. In addition to the basic curriculum, we also offer physical education, music, and art.

Middle school is a time of transition. For many students, the middle school years are marked by a time of developing responsibility and social relationships. Students are discovering their own strengths, talents, and interests. At Heritage Academy, the process of entering adolescence is carefully nurtured. All middle school students will grow in an understanding of God’s Word, which will provide guidance for the rest of their lives.

Our goal is to prepare students with the skills to become productive and responsible citizens in the twenty-first century. We want students to realize that God’s ultimate purpose for man is to develop each individual to his/her fullest capacity: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually (I Corinthians 10:31, Ecclesiastes 12:13). Students will have opportunities to seek and to know God’s will (Romans 12:12, II Timothy 2:16, Deuteronomy 16:17).

Parents and teachers will work cooperatively in the process of educating a child’s mind and heart (Deuteronomy 6:1-9, Ephesians 6:4). In the achievement of those goals, we will rely on the Bible as the spiritual guide. High educational standards and building a personal relationship with the Lord (Philippians 3:10) will flow naturally in a Christ-centered atmosphere.

Statement of Faith

We believe that the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, was verbally inspired of God and is inerrant and is our only rule in matters of faith and practice.
We believe in creation, no evolution; that man was created by the direct act of God and in the image of God.
We believe that Adam and Eve, in yielding to the temptation of Satan, became fallen creatures.
We believe that all men are born in sin.
We believe in the vicarious and substitutional atonement for the sins of mankind by the shedding of His blood on the cross.
We believe in the resurrection of His body from the tomb. His ascension to Heaven, and that He is now our Advocate.
We believe that He is personally coming again.
We believe in His power to save men from sin.
We believe in the necessity of the New Birth, and that this New Birth is through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, plus nothing, minus nothing, in the atoning blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We believe that this Statement of Faith is basic for Christian fellowship and that all born-again men and women who sincerely accept it and are separated from the world of apostasy and sin can, and should, live together in peace, and that is their Christian duty to promote harmony among the Believers.

Biblical Education

Bible is recognized as fundamentally important and is a required subject. It augments the work in all the subject areas and with out, a student can hardly be considered educated in the true sense. The Bible gives the best direction for the life and the only direction for life to come. There is no other book that can so enrich the minds and hearts of men as the Word of God.

Knowledge of the Bible is one of the greatest education assets any person can acquire. In addition, it provides the best moral and spiritual values. No other course offered in the school affords so great an opportunity for laying the foundation for a good and sound character.

Statement of Nondiscrimination

This school admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, athletic programs, and other school administered programs.
