Explicit Phonics
Rather than focus on word recognition, we use explicit phonics to emphasize core language principles and teach students how words work. This empowers them to decode the complexities of the English language so they can read and speak with confidence.
Singapore Math
This comprehensive approach to math prepares students for algebraic thinking from kindergarten through seventh grade. In eighth grade, they begin the study of algebra. Singapore Math is widely renowned as the best mathematics teaching approach in the world.
Recommended Reading List
HCA's reading list includes some of the greatest works of literature, philosophy, politics, and art throughout history. From The Chronicles of Narnia and Aesop’s Fables to Nicomachean Ethics and Crime and Punishment, students experience an immersion into the ideas that have shaped Western civilization.
Role of Technology
At Heritage Classical Academy, use of digital technology is limited. Our students use pen, paper, and physical books as their primary learning tools. While we do utilize some technology in the classroom, students are not reliant on their laptops, phones, or other devices to study, complete exams, or perform homework. Technology is not the bedrock of the richest learning experience.
The Classical Approach
Heritage Classical Academy offers a comprehensive classical curriculum that integrates subjects to create a robust learning experience. Our classical curriculum helps students think rationally and see the world honestly. Unlike curriculums that emphasize skill development and standardized test performance, our classical curriculum focuses on teaching students how to think, not what to think.
