Heritage Christian School

Heritage Christian School’s educational philosophy is explicitly Christ-centered, teaching that all truth is grounded in Jesus Christ and revealed through the Bible, and that this unchanging truth should shape every part of learning. They describe education as leading students from ignorance to knowledge while developing the whole person (intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual) toward Christ-likeness, with an emphasis on lasting biblical values and character. They also state that their program aims to educate “mind, body, and spirit” to inspire students to become members of a better world.

Heritage Christian School’s website directs families to start by contacting Admissions and beginning the online process via their external Admissions portal. (hcspatriots.com) After checking classroom availability, the school schedules a principal meeting/interview for transfer students in grades 1–12 (Kindergarten students meet the principal but an interview is not required). (hcspatriots.com) Placement testing is generally required for students transferring from public school (SOL results are not accepted); standardized test results from other private/Christian schools may be accepted, and placement testing carries a $75 fee. (hcspatriots.com) Enrollment requires submitting documents such as a birth certificate, immunization/shot records, transcripts (if entering above K5), a physical exam (Virginia school entrance health form) and, for grade 7+ applicants, a pastoral recommendation; the page lists deadlines including “fees due by July 20” and physical exam forms due by August 20, plus tuition due by the 20th monthly. (hcspatriots.com) The admissions page does not describe a formal waitlist or any admissions priority categories (it only references determining classroom availability before scheduling interviews).
