Our school offers a quality, Christian education for community children, K-12th grade whose desire is to grow, learn, and excell in thier God given talents! Staff and students alike are challenged to reach for their best! My daughter attends here, and I love this school. I truly could not imagine her in school anywhere else.

I'm very satisfied with the academic program that is offered at Golden Rule Academy. My children are excited about learning and are sad when they have to miss a day of school for any reason, as a parent I couldn't ask for anything more. Their PACE program for Special Needs Children is very good and it allows my child to learn in a "Bully Free Environment" with friends they can relate to. The staff and Teachers are kind and display a loving christian attitude. My children also participate in their Basketball, Music and Cheer leading activities. The children received their Academic and Athletic awards at the end of the school year and they've empowered them to achieve their highest potential. I would highly recommend this school to any parent.

This school is the great exception to the other school choices in our county. They show individual attention, student support, as well as being a Christian school. It's great not having to worry about bullying, violence, or other negative aspects that we have had to deal with in the public school system! Also, they have free scholarships available!
Endorse Heritage Christian School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
