Our Method

Adore
Christian Formation: Everything we do at Heritage Oak is grounded in the Word of God with the goal to help students rightly order their loves, beginning with a passionate heart for Jesus Christ. We desire students to have a strong spiritual and moral foundation, so they are not easily swayed by cultural influences that contradict God’s Truth.

Learn
Classical Academics: Heritage Oak seeks to form strong minds for the Glory of God. To that end, our teaching and curricula follows a classical liberal arts approach to education with an emphasis in literature, history, writing, and the Bible, using time proven methods that develop thinking, articulate, and well-rounded graduates

Love
Community Service: Our aim is to graduate students that joyfully serve and cultivate families, churches, and communities that embody the true, good, and beautiful. Whatever their gifting or vocation, we seek to equip our future alumni so they are well prepared to faithfully share the gospel message of Jesus Christ and minister to others.
Average class size
Our class sizes are intentionally small to promote meaningful participation and cultivate a connected, cohesive classroom culture.

Last week our Cross Country runners participated in the Be the Light! run in Valencia. HOS dominated the 10k and took 2nd out of 15 teams in the 5K! Three Knights reached the podium as well, with Harry Wilson in 2nd place, Zachary Semerenko in 3rd place, and Natalia Semerenko in 2nd place for the Women’s division. Great work, team!

Last week we had a great time commemorating Constitution Day with a fun game of "Constitution Jeopardy." The competition was fierce but the House of Wilberforce and 6th Grade came out on top and earned a pizza party to celebrate their win. And while the game was fun, it was also an opportunity to remember the founding fathers' wisdom and vision as they established this great nation!
