Overview
Petra Academy is a Christian school. All of its board members, administrative staff and faculty ascribe to the historic creeds of the Christian faith.
Challenging classes in the Maths, Sciences, Humanities (including language arts, literature, history, and civics), and Arts form the basis of a Petra education.
Petra's classical pedagogy includes, as well, the teaching of Latin (grades 3-9), formal logic (grades 8-9), and rhetoric (grades 11-12).
Consistent with Petra's Christ-centered focus, Bible classes are taught at each level and constitute the integrating center of our curriculum.
Heritage Christian School is a non-denominational, evangelical Christian school for parents who are genuine believers in Jesus Christ.
Heritage is accredited in grades Kindergarten through twelve by AdvancED and the Association of Christian Schools International, of which it has been an accredited member since 1994. Our guiding vision is to raise up a generation "whose God is the Lord" by instilling in the hearts and minds of our students a passionate and holy fear of the Lord.
This being the case, we aim to provide thorough biblical instruction that relates to the whole of life in a learning environment that it is safe, secure, and conditioned by His word.
