We are privileged to be part of the Heritage Christian School family. Our journey started five years ago with our eldest child, Kufre, transferring to HCS for 6th grade. Though she was receiving a good education in our local public school, we wanted something more—an education that points her to Christ. We prayerfully considered HCS, took a tour and were delighted to see that every activity and class lesson are truly Christ centered. We found the teachers fully engaged with the students and dedicated to their calling.
After our first year, we transferred our other children to HCS so they could partake of this priceless treasure in our community. In the time we have been part of the HCS family, the first impressions we had about the school have remained true. The academic experience for our kids at HCS is second to none, but of greater importance, their souls are fed daily from God’s Word. The teachers at HCS are dedicated to the well-being of our children and truly partner with parents in raising children that will glorify God.
The school, through its involvement in the community, helps the children learn the importance of serving others and how Christ has called us to serve. The school serves not just the local community but also exposes children to how we can impact the lives of people in other parts of the world through our service and giving. For example, we are sponsoring a child in Togo, praying for missionaries around the world, volunteering in the local pantry, helping with some gardening activities in our community, and engaging our kids with the elderly in the nursing homes.
We are grateful every morning as we drop off our children knowing they are in a safe environment and that values we are teaching at home are the same they are taught at school. We know that our children are being prepared and equipped to be a light wherever they go. The verse that comes to our mind is Acts 13:47: “For so the Lord has commanded us, saying ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
HCS truly cares for the children in even more ways than we can list, and we are glad to call it home. Our prayer is that HCS will continue to grow and touch the lives of children and families in our community.
