When we were first married, we were not Christians. By God’s grace, we became Christians about two years before our first child was born. Of course, becoming parents causes reflection and introspection on a new level. We both look back at our childhoods in our own public school days and realize that God’s teachings were vaguely assumed at best, and contradicted or ridiculed at worst.
We actually registered Rachel for Kindergarten at three different schools. After feeling a quiet yet persistent nudge, we cancelled the other two registrations (in tears) and chose Heritage, sensing that God was at work. God’s provision of grace was soon obvious, more so each year.
The Heritage teachers and administrators pour themselves into each child. Their hearts ache for them to know God and grow closer to Him. The philosophy of partnering with parents in training a child in the way he or she should go resonates with us. We know God charged us, not the school, with raising our children. We also know that education that does not acknowledge God is senseless. Rachel’s first grade teacher said it best, “There is no truth apart from God.”
Heritage teachers are engaged with and interested in each one of our kids. They attend their activities, send them cards of encouragement, even in the summer, and beyond their years at Heritage. Heritage is an investment in our children’s lives that we have been more than glad to make. We have experienced God’s blessings through our choice time and again, eagerly awaiting what He has in store for our family in the future.
