Will there be an entrance exam for admission to Heritage Prep? Yes, as part of the Admission process, an entrance exam will be required to assess the likelihood of success in the school and to determine the appropriate placement of incoming students.
Can students transfer into Heritage Prep after being in other schools? Yes, students who transfer will be subject to an entrance/placement examination.
Will Heritage Preparatory Academy teach Latin? Why? Yes, Heritage Preparatory Academy students will be encouraged to take both Spanish and Latin. The ability to speak Spanish is invaluable. It is a tool not only for daily living but also for ministry and witness. The study of a foreign language at an early age enhances brain development and improves one's ability to correctly pronounce the foreign language. The study of both Latin and Spanish also tends to expand students' vocabularies through an understanding of Latin root words, suffixes and prefixes and it also enhances their grammar skills as they begin to understand parts of speech and linguistic patterns. In addition, contrary to popular belief, the study of a foreign language, including Latin, guards against arrogance. In his studies, a child begins to recognize that his world, his language, his vocabulary and his way of expressing himself are only one way of living and thinking in a big, complicated world. Finally, the very process of learning a foreign language requires mental gymnastics that strengthen the mind.
Will there be uniforms at Heritage Preparatory Academy? Yes. For more information, please see our Dress Code.
When will we apply for acceptance to Heritage Preparatory Academy? Enrollment is made on a semester basis. If the classes become full there will be a waiting list for the following semester. For more information, please see Admissions.
What is the cost of tuition? Because of the nature of the university-model, the cost of tuition for a full time student will be less than a typical 5-day-a-week school. However, our desire to attract and retain the very best teachers will be reflected in our tuition as well. Tuition will be between $200-$300 per course per semester. Certain core courses, such as math and language arts, may be longer than one hour and will be priced higher. Affordability for all families is maintained by allowing students to enroll in as few as one course per semester. Return to top
Is your school governed by a church? No, a board of men and women from this community govern the school.
Is your school a non-profit organization? Yes, Heritage Preparatory Academy is a non-profit corporation formed in the state of Illinois and governed by a board of trustees. We are in the process of filing an application with the Internal Revenue Service to be recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization, charitable contributions to which are tax deductible. This application is still in process at this time.
Will this type of schooling fulfill "state requirements"? Yes, it will parallel requirements in the core subjects, and should exceed the requirements for grade levels. We will consider accreditation through the Association of Classical and Christian Schools (ACCS), and /or other accreditation organizations in the future. We are also an ISBE state recognized non-public school.
