Heritage is a distinctive, classical Christ-centered school located on a beautiful, twelve-acre campus in Midtown Atlanta. Classes are small, ensuring that each student receives individual attention. Class days are shorter in the Lower School to ensure quality time at home. The content of Heritage’s curriculum is classical in that it emphasizes timeless works of literature, music, art, drama, history, Latin, logic, science, and mathematics. Teachers incorporate the methodology of the educator Charlotte Mason by focusing on good habits, nature studies, and joyful discovery in learning. Heritage teachers are gifted professionals who are committed followers of Jesus Christ.
Heritage believes that early development of a disciplined lifestyle provides a solid foundation for a responsible and productive life in a complex modern world. Heritage graduates have a proven track record of being accepted into Atlanta’s top private high schools. Heritage is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS); a member of ACSI, ACCS, and National Junior Honor Society; and a participant in the Duke Talent Identification Program (TIP).
