The Heritage School is a non-sectarian, co-educational, independent,
college preparatory day school founded on Judeo-Christian principles with
community support, to provide a program offering a personalized educational
experience for children of strong character and academic promise, regardless
of race, sex, color, religion or ethnic origin. The School believes in challenging each student to develop his individual
potential and seeks from the beginning years to instill in each student an appreciation of knowledge and
lifelong learning. The School
recognizes that its students need to develop an enthusiasm for education; a
firm ethical and moral foundation; appropriate social skills; well-honed
oral, artistic and written communication skills; a body of mathematical,
scientific, historical, geographic and literary knowledge; and the
well-practiced ability to think creatively, to read for information and
pleasure, to gather and organize data, and to analyze and draw conclusions. The School’s program consists of a
sequential curriculum of essential disciplines, periodically reappraised in
terms of the design and appropriateness of education. The School strives to provide a program of
sufficient breadth and flexibility to afford its students the opportunity to
excel in any of the curricular or extracurricular programs. The Heritage School seeks to provide a nurturing environment that
encourages students to discover and use their intellectual and creative
potential, to rely on their own judgment and initiative, and to develop an
awareness of how they learn best.
Teachers strive to identify individual talents and learning styles and
to help direct students to programs in which they find interest and success. The Heritage School believes that , in assisting students to develop
healthy self-images, encompassing physical, intellectual, emotional and
social capacities, it will enable them to become more sensitive and
compassionate human beings and contributing members of a democratic society. |
