Our Courses
Learning is Constant, but Time Varies!
Students learn through different styles and at different rates. A faster student can progress at an accelerated rate whilst a student who needs more time can go at a slower pace. Heritage Academy supports that while everyone learns at their own pace, the journey of learning is ongoing and lifelong.
Students are placed on the level of curriculum where he or she can best perform!
Each student who enrols takes the diagnostic tests (English and Math) to determine his respective level of proficiency. Results of the diagnostic test are carefully evaluated, and the student will be placed at his level of proficiency. The diagnostic test results also help to identify academic weaknesses (learning gaps) and prescribe a path to help students before progressing at their assigned grade level. A student can be enrolled in Heritage Academy at any time throughout the school year.
The curriculum includes Core Modules (subjects) and Electives for higher grades.
For Grade One, there are five core modules (subjects) while from Grade Two to Eight, there are six core modules.
From Grade 9 onward, credits are accumulated towards graduation. (See our Academic Pathway here) One credit is earned for the completion of each level of study (12 PACEs per subject). In addition to the core subjects, certain electives are required for graduation. The maximum of two non-academic credits can be included.
Students graduating from Grade 12 will be awarded an American High School Diploma, conferred by Heritage Academy (School of Tomorrow® only provides the curriculum and they do not confer the awards)
Mastery Learning
Accelerated Christan Education (A.C.E.) emphasizes mastery of each concept before advancing, ensuring that students have a strong foundation in both academics and Christian values, which are integrated across the curriculum. It focuses heavily on individualized learning and moral education, including multimedia learning which is highly relevant to the demands of 21st Century learning. Each individual progresses through their educational journey at a different speed, influenced by factors such as personal aptitude, motivation, and access to resources.
Assessment
Placing a student at the appropriate curriculum level where they can best perform ensures they are challenged and supported appropriately in their educational journey. This approach recognizes the unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles of each student by assessing their abilities and understanding their individual needs. Students are placed at a level where they can build upon their existing knowledge and skills without feeling overwhelmed or bored. At Heritage Academy, Students do not sit for periodic examinations. Instead, they are continually assessed through formative (Check-ups, Self-Tests) and summative (PACE Tests) assessments as they work through each module.
