Distinctly Christian curriculum and activities
Students get to spend time every morning worshiping God together through music and prayer... it's a beautiful sound!
Heartland is committed to encouraging students to personally follow Jesus Christ and preparing them to meet the needs and the challenges of the culture.​​
Small class sizes for individualized learning
Do you spend time wondering what your children could achieve in their studies if only they had teachers who were able to spend more one on one time with them?
We are committed to keeping our class sizes small, which enables our teachers to individualize the learning experience.
Academic excellence with a biblical worldview
Faith is integrated into every aspect of daily life at Heartland. Each classroom has time devoted to studying the Bible, just as any classroom studies math, language or social studies. They learn about the character of Jesus and the sovereignty of God from the same teachers that teach them English and science. This is fundamental to a Heartland education.
