Academic Learning Assistance
or Heritage Christian School is committed to providing a supportive environment that enables all students to achieve both spiritually and academically. We endeavor to do this through our Academic Learning Assistance Program (ALA). The goal of ALA is to assist students in grades K-12 with documented physical and/or learning disabilities by providing a tailored Individual Accommodation/Modification Plan to help them excel academically while growing closer to Jesus Christ. This plan provides for approved physical, organizational and instructional support. The ALA Program is led by Becki Hayes who has over 37 years of experience in education. Her desire is to help each child reach the potential that God has placed within them.
Please note: There is an additional fee for ALA. For details, please review the application below or reference the tuition/fees schedule by clicking here.
Technology
HCS incorporates computers and technology in the classroom through our rigorous curriculum and with various individual and group projects using both the Microsoft Suite and Google Classroom. Students, parents, and staff are asked to sign a Digital Citizenship contract to ensure appropriate and responsible use of technology and to adhere to the Godly guidelines outlined by HCS. In addition, in order to create a safe environment for our school, HCS employs the assistance of the Cyber Safety Cop to educate our parent community and our students in junior high and high school to empower them to safely engage online.
