Our Academics

Heritage Academy School provides a balanced curriculum that caters to the needs of every learner. We carefully assess the strengths and growth areas of each learner and focus on developing these, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Our small class sizes allow teachers to foster close, supportive relationships with each learner, guiding them academically, socially, and spiritually. Daily Christian values are woven into our lessons, and learners are encouraged to reflect God’s principles in all that they do. Heritage Academy Academics – Our subjects and teaching strategies are designed to equip learners with the skills and knowledge to thrive and fulfil their God-given potential at every stage of their education.
