The Bible is the foundation of all truth, and a Biblical worldview
is essential for today's Christian teenager.   With Bible instruction
that is more than just an academic subject, our students are trained to make decisions based on Biblical truth and to apply those truths to their everyday lives.  This is accomplished in various ways, one being the orientation camp with which the year begins.  This unique format provides a spiritual emphasis that sets the tone for the school year.  In addition to games and activities, swimming and skiing, students are challenged during camp chapels to be the leaders God has called them to be.  Then, throughout the year,  this challenge is perpetuated with twice-weekly
chapel sessions and Power Groups where the juniors and seniors  present monthly devotional lessons and encourage the underclassmen in their walk with God.

Heritage Hall offers a classical education that gives students a firm foundation for any field of study they many choose to pursue.  Students read and learn to appreciate classic literature and study grammar so they may express themselves well in writing.  History and government show God's hand as He works in the affairs of men.  Geography and economics give students a global understanding of our world and how they should function in and contribute to society.  Five years of math instruction will include pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and calculus.  Creation and an ordered universe are presented in biological and physical sciences, including chemistry and physics.  Speech, Spanish, physical education, art, band, and choir round out the curriculum.  Students have many opportunities to hone their writing, dramatic, and musical skills in school plays and programs and in local and state contests.

Our primary goal for the junior high, grades 7 and 8, is to help the students make the best possible transition as they move from a self-contained elementary classroom to sitting under six or more different teachers during the school day.  There is a daily emphasis on character training (manners, respect, honesty), as well as on good study habits, note-taking,  preparing for and taking tests.  As students are given more independence, teachers are there to guide and help channel their energies in a positive direction.  In addition to Bible , English, science, math and history, students receive instruction in basic keyboarding and beginning computer applications.  Band choir, art, physical education, and conversational Spanish are also incorporated into the curriculum.
