A failed attempt at Christian education for many of the students that they attempt to serve. A core methodology that doesn't focus on science skill building at an early age. The idea of diversity - within race, ethnicity, beliefs and socio-economic levels is lost in a false 'color blind' community.
... Read more While there are clearly competent teachers within any school, the experience was a collective failure for our family. We take partial responsibility for this mis-match, as we recognized that there was neither the desire, will or commitment to progress nor a desire to see all students achieve their fullest potential. Parents are the first teachers for their precious children and should thus be cautious that everything that glitters is not gold. Leadership turn over, teacher sensitivity to diversity, strategic planning and staff development don't match the stated vision. A costly disappointment although individual gems exist. Read less

Heritage Christian is a wonderful school where students are challenged to work hard. Students are above average in many aspects, and the school excels in many areas such as sports and fine arts.

The administration of the high school handles student discipline in a drawn out fashion.. like they are making it a game. There is a hidden culture at heritage that no one knows about or expects. The teachers, activities, and students are fantastic and make it a great place to be, but the administration is just embarrassing. Read less

The fact that every lesson is scripture-based should be reason enough for a Christian family to choose this route. But, you also can rest on the benefits of knowing this is a college preparatory school that rivals any other private school in the area. Also, most Christian schools don't come close to offering the varied extra curricular activities. Most importantly, the teachers consider this a 'calling' not a job/career. They have been huge blessings in our lives. Read less

This school was good for me at first but now with all the bad leadership changes it's going down the drain for me.

My son attended kindergarten at Heritage last year and is currently in first grade. We are thrilled with Heritage. We live in the number one ranked school district in Indiana but we chose to send him to Heritage for the Christian component. I'm guessing some of the negative comments about the Christian

The school does a great job of combining academics with sound Biblical teaching. The school is very strict and structured - I think parents who complain about the teaching methods being 'uncreative' may be off put by the structured nature of the school. The teachers my son has had have done some pretty creative and fun things in the classroom. I hope we never have to move because we would be heart broken to have to leave Heritage! Read less

A sadly misguided school and leadership whose methods and attitude toward educating children is outdated and archaic to say the least.

This is not a school that deserves your tuition money, nor should you fall into the false belief that because it is a 'Christian' school it is therefore good and better than the alternatives.

Worst school ever. Dont bring your kids here unless you want them to grow up with a self righteous holier than thou attitude, with a sense of arrogance about them and their suburb friends.
