Heritage Academy recognizes that the family and church are the primary mechanisms of discipleship in the life of a child (Deuteronomy 6:4-7; I Thessalonians 2:11-12). In order to support families and churches in that responsibility, Heritage Academy uses several avenues to foster spiritual growth and character development. The school offers weekly assemblies addressing godly character qualities and behaviors. A Code of Conduct and Dress Code promote a positive learning environment and the development of constructive habits and Christian relationships. These policies, along with the Student Discipline Procedures are designed to communicate the school’s expectations regarding appearance, attitude and behavior while at school and school-sponsored events. Heritage Academy recognizes that codes and policies are merely external standards and cannot act alone to effect character development. However, such standards are necessary to provide an orderly learning environment, remind us to respect others, and encourage us to value and strive for godliness.
