A Note to Home Schooling Families
Because Heritage Academy values operating as a community of like-minded, Christian Families, we do ask that home schooled families interested only in athletics still go through the majority of the school’s admissions process. We want families to be informed about the school they’re representing and Heritage Academy can be confident of partnership with each family involved. Please feel free to contact the school by phone (573.449.2252) or email at office@heritageacademyofcolumbia.com.
