Heritage Classical Academy
Heritage Classical Academy exists to cultivate lifelong learners who think and live for Christ through proven curriculum, passionate teachers, and a Christ-centered environment. HCA partners with like-minded families by offering three distinct tracks. At the Academy, students attend classes on a traditional five days per week schedule. At the Study Center, we partner with homeschool families two days per week to support their efforts to educate classically. At the Preschool and Jr. Kindergarten, we strive to provide a Christ-centered environment that pursues excellence and prepares children for Kindergarten and beyond.

Why Classical?
Heritage Classical Academy aims to develop a generation of future leaders who love to learn, think clearly and communicate winsomely and articulately. To accomplish this vision we have adopted the time-tested model of education called “classical Christian education”.
While this educational model existed for over 1500 years in various forms, it fell into decline in the late 1800s due to the rise of industrialization. Over the last 30 years many Christians have discovered the riches of having a rigorous academic course of study married with a robust plan for spiritual formation. The resulting educational renaissance has spawned over 230 like-minded schools across the United States. This movement continues to grow and Heritage Classical Academy desires to be a leader among like-minded schools in Northeast Ohio.
DISTINCTLY CHRISTIAN.

Mission Statement
Cultivating lifelong learners who think and live for Christ.
Vision
In partnership with parents, HCA develops students who impact the Kingdom and their culture by employing a Christ-centered curriculum taught with excellence by gifted educators who embrace the classical model of education. HCA emphasizes the all-surpassing truth, goodness, and beauty of Jesus, striving to make him known, loved and reflected by our students. This is reinforced through purposeful, daily modeling and instruction by teachers and staff both in the classroom and by offering students opportunities to practice Christian values in the areas of service, art, music and sports.
