Heritage Lane Parochial School

” I attended HCS from Gr. 1 – Gr.12, graduating with a class of only 12 students. We knew each other very well as almost all of us had been together since elementary. With a small class, our graduation was a very special experience as the teachers took time with each student to speak a personal message of encouragement to us in this milestone moment of our lives. Without a doubt we felt known and cared for; we understood that these teachers were standing behind us as we were ready to venture off in life. Even after gradation, I have had many moments of seeing how these teachers truly care and are still there for me, even though I haven’t been their student for years. Overall, my education at HCS was full of wonderful friendships, excellent academic instruction, life changing trips, and teachers who went over and beyond on a daily basis in how they taught, but more importantly how they loved me and wanted to see me be all God has called me to be. I am so excited that my daughter has now begun her education here at HCS. In the time she has been here, we have already seen how the teachers, principals, and staff love and care deeply for her. There is nowhere else we would want her to be for her schooling as we know this is her second family; they truly see her potential, gifting and worth. I love how they are speaking into that and drawing it out even more. I so appreciate how they are are coming alongside us as parents to help develop her character and encourage her to RISE up. My daughter is learning the importance of Respect, Integrity, Service and Effort on a daily basis. What a gift this school has been to me and now our daughter! “

” My kids have been going to this school for the last 3 years and what I love about the school is that they teach the whole child…..mind, heart and soul. The staff truly love Jesus and desire to see their students walk in the fulness that God has for them. It takes a village to raise our kids and I’m so thankful for the heart of this school and the authenticity & vulnerability that comes from the staff and leadership. I work at the school as well and I have seen first hand the compassion and kindness that the staff have for the kids. I have seen and heard the prayers and giving that has taken place when a child/family is struggling and I have seen the celebration and joy that happens when a child/family succeeds. I’m beyond thankful for what HCS has done for my children. “

” I spent 10 years at HCS (grades 3-12) and had an incredible experience; I would recommend this school to anyone who is serious about Christian Education. The teachers and staff care not only about the student’s academics, but also for their personal and spiritual well-being. Smaller classes meant that I was seen and heard by my teachers, which meant that I could not hide in the background. It also meant that I had more opportunities to grow and flourish in areas that I wouldn’t have had in a larger, secular school setting. It is because of these extra-mile teachers that I had throughout elementary, middle-school, and secondary that have inspired me to go into the education field myself. I cannot say enough great things about this school! “

” Both of my kids have gone to this school since pre-school (now grade 2 and 5). Growing up I moved a lot and went to 4 different elementary schools and 3 high schools. Being in the public schools I never felt connected to my teachers and classes were over crowded. This is where Heritage Christian School shines. My kids always have great things to say about their teachers and for the most part love going to school (as much as any kid can at least). The attention they get from their teachers because of the smaller class sizes is very beneficial to their learning and growing. The care they get from the community they build within the school is inspiring and will pay off as they get into higher grades. All around the staff are very professional at what they do, but also show a level of caring for your child and their future that you just wont get from a public school. The building is a little old (the bad reviews below are very dramatic) but it’s kept in decent repair. The facility is kept up and cleaner than any public school I’ve been in. I believe they have plans to replace the building soon though. Overall, if you’re looking for a Christian focused private school that you can feel confident about your kids going to, you will not go wrong with heritage. This is a solid investment in your childs future. “

” I just met with all of our kids teachers over the past two weeks, and I have to say, I am blown away by the incredible teaching staff at Heritage: They know my kids! And they care so deeply. First of all, I’m so blessed that they took extra time out of their lunches, or stayed late after school to meet with us because we were out of town during the scheduled parent teacher interviews. We talked about their academics, which are fantastic, but I was struck how in every conversation we quickly went deeper, talking about our children’s emotional landscape and spiritual journeys. The grade 6 teacher Chris asked us about specific situations that happened with classmates, and him asking if what was happening at school was affecting our daughter at home. We talked about the character trait of going beyond simply “tolerance” and actively pursuing “kindness”. This is helping us use similar language so we can reinforce the same character growth at home. That is an example of what is so fantastic about HCS: the teachers truly care about my children developing an authentic relationship with Christ, wrestling with their faith questions, and helping reaffirm the character and academic growth our children need. Both at home and at school. If you want a school where teachers are partners with you in an authentic whole-person-education, this is your school. “
