Our Mission Statement
Heritage Academy is dedicated to youth, their growth and development. The purpose of education is to build strong character. Strong character is reflected in strong families, strong communities and a strong nation.
While teaching the academic disciplines, Heritage Academy is dedicated to instilling into the minds and hearts of today’s youth a knowledge of and respect for the ideals and values of the great men and women of history, including those who founded the American nation.
As today’s rising generation gains an appreciation of these people of accomplishment, they will be ready to provide the selfless service to their fellow citizens and to their country which will be required in the coming years to assist in preserving America’s greatness. Heritage Academy exists to this end.

Scholar handbook:
Absences Any scholar who misses ten percent (10%) or more of classes (usually five or more per semester) in a given subject may not receive credit for that subject. This applies to all absences unless on school business. An excused absence is an absence due to illness, doctor appointment, bereavement, family emergencies and 9 suspensions not to exceed 10% of the instructional days scheduled for the school year. Heritage Academy must be notified of the absence prior to the absence or when the absence occurs by the parent or legal guardian who has custody of the student. If an absence occurs relating to any other term or condition that is not specifically designated above, the absence shall be counted as unexcused.
The front office lends out uniform shirts and pants to scholars for a variety of reasons. We need them returned in a timely manner. Starting after Spring Break we will be invoicing parents for unreturned items.

Parents,
The houses that surround Heritage are frustrated by cars blocking their driveways. PLEASE USE THE CELL PHONE LOT TO WAIT FOR DRIVELINE. The cell phone lot idea was created by a council comprised of the City of Maricopa Police Department, the HOA, the Catholic Church, and heritage to alleviate this issue.
