Overview
BCA's mission is to provide an educational environment that enables students to strive for excellence in academics and in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ as they discover God's unique purpose and plan for their lives.
At BCA, our aim is to produce students who are real; that is, cultivating a relationship with Christ, becoming equipped for service to others, becoming active in using their gifts and talents for Him, and seeking a lifetime of learning.
This process requires that we provide a variety of learning experiences for our students, ranging from a full academic program PreK-12 to extracurricular activities in athletics and fine arts.
The challenges facing young believers require that we produce critical thinkers, defenders of the faith, and a true understanding of what it means to be salt and light in the world.
Our aim is not to shelter students from the world, but to explore how God can use them to engage and influence culture both at home and abroad.
Ultimately, our goal is to develop students who have a desire to "love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" (Matthew 22:37).
Organized in 1969, Heritage Academy is a private, interracial, nonprofit, independent, Biblical Christian school.
It offers spiritual and academic standards to families in the tri-state area.
The primary objectives and purposes of the school are to train the student in the knowledge of God and the Christian way of life and to give the best education in all subject areas.
Heritage Academy's mission is to participate in equipping our students in all grades academically, spiritually, socially, and physically so that they may discern and live out God's plan for their lives.
Heritage Academy's curriculum is based upon the philosophy of Christian education which integrates Biblical truths with the truths of scholarship.
Ours is a traditional approach to classroom teaching with a carefully developed program designed to utilize the best of traditional education, with emphasis on phonetics and arithmetic.
