Educational Philosophy

Parent Led

God enjoins parents, not the Church or State to bring children up in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). Therefore, we seek to honor and assist, not usurp, the role of parents in teaching their children.

God-Centered

We believe that God’s character is revealed in His Word and in every facet of creation. Therefore, we teach that all knowledge is interrelated and instructs us about God Himself.

Classical

God commands us to love Him with all of our mind, heart and strength (Matthew 22:37). Therefore, we seek to individually challenge children and teach them how to learn, through the classical method.

Character and Conduct

Believing that all we do should be done “heartily, as unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:23), we seek to encourage quality academic work and maintain high standards of character and conduct.

Christian Worldview

Our highest goal is to provide instruction that challenges our students to live and think within a Christian worldview.

How will HSC be Christ-centered?

In all its levels and teaching, Heritage Study Center seeks to:

1. Teach all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with the Scriptures at the center, helping students to love God with all of their heart, mind and strength.
2. Provide a clear example of Christian living through our staff and Board members.
3. Encourage every child to begin and develop his relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ.

How will HSC be Classical?

In all its levels and teaching, Heritage Study Center seeks to:

1. Emphasize the trivium:
   • Grammar: The fundamental facts and rules of each subject, and basic data that exhibit those rules.
   • Dialectic: The ordered relationship of particulars in each subject
   • Rhetoric: The coherent, articulate expression of truths learned in the grammar and dialectic stages.
2. Encourage every student to develop a love for learning and to live up to his academic potential.
3. Provide an orderly atmosphere conducive to the attainment of the above goals.

Non-Discrimination Statement

The Heritage Study Center admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
