School Reviews

Heartland Christian Academy, Bemidji, MN. The school itself sits just outside of the city of Bemidji, it has a large outdoor area with a large playground, soccer field, gaga ball, basketball hoops, and an area for an ice-skating rink in the winter. There are two buildings. The community around the school is very caring. The staff and teachers are very approachable and easily accessible in person or via email or phone. There is a feeling of family with the smaller class sizes. There is daily devoted time to worship, prayer, and time in the Bible. The truth of the Bible is apparent in all aspects and dealings with the school. And the love of God/Jesus can be felt as well. Parents are welcome to and encouraged to volunteer at the school whenever they are able. My student was also supported and given accommodations for his special needs in the classroom, the teacher was very open and willing to work with us to find solutions to ensure a healthy and student-centered learning environment was established. There is a standard/goal for students to achieve high academic standings and the curriculum is chosen and quality teachers hired to support this standard/goal. The school is locked down during the school day. And the environment is free from violence, discrimination, and harsh punishment.
