Heritage Christian School

Both of my kids have gone to this school since pre-school (now grade 2 and 5).Growing up I moved a lot and went to 4 different elementary schools and 3 high schools. Being in the public schools I never felt connected to my teachers and classes were over crowded.This is where Heritage Christian School shines. My kids always have great things to say about their teachers and for the most part love going to school (as much as any kid can at least).The attention they get from their teachers because of the smaller class sizes is very beneficial to their learning and growing. The care they get from the community they build within the school is inspiring and will pay off as they get into higher grades.All around the staff are very professional at what they do, but also show a level of caring for your child and their future that you just wont get from a public school.The building is a little old (the bad reviews below are very dramatic) but it's kept in decent repair. The facility is kept up and cleaner than any public school I've been in. I believe they have plans to replace the building soon though.Overall, if you're looking for a Christian focused private school that you can feel confident about your kids going to, you will not go wrong with heritage. This is a solid investment in your childs future.

My son started at HCOS this last year. What an amazing experience we have had in the first year. For anyone that knows reading levels he was in grade 3 and still sitting at level D which was hurting his confidence and creating major anxiety for him in school. With learning disabilities involved we were feeling overwhelmed with how to improve his reading abilities. I must say Wow!!! it is January and he is a few books away from level J! We are so proud of his hard work but not only that the staff have been nothing but helpful since day one. They put their soul into their work and heart into encouraging students to do better. We feel so blessed and from my family's hearts we say Thank You HCOS!

I attended HCS from Gr. 1 - Gr.12, graduating with a class of only 12 students. We knew each other very well as almost all of us had been together since elementary. With a small class, our graduation was a very special experience as the teachers took time with each student to speak a personal message of encouragement to us in this milestone moment of our lives. Without a doubt we felt known and cared for; we understood that these teachers were standing behind us as we were ready to venture off in life. Even after gradation, I have had many moments of seeing how these teachers truly care and are still there for me, even though I haven’t been their student for years.Overall, my education at HCS was full of wonderful friendships, excellent academic instruction, life changing trips, and teachers who went over and beyond on a daily basis in how they taught, but more importantly how they loved me and wanted to see me be all God has called me to be.I am so excited that my daughter has now begun her education here at HCS. In the time she has been here, we have already seen how the teachers, principals, and staff love and care deeply for her. There is nowhere else we would want her to be for her schooling as we know this is her second family; they truly see her potential, gifting and worth. I love how they are speaking into that and drawing it out even more. I so appreciate how they are are coming alongside us as parents to help develop her character and encourage her to RISE up. My daughter is learning the importance of Respect, Integrity, Service and Effort on a daily basis. What a gift this school has been to me and now our daughter!

Both of our kids have gone to Heritage Christian School for the past five years. Heritage offers a very good Christian based education. The school is very welcoming and it is a very nurturing atmosphere.I want to share this review with a true story that speaks volumes about the school. Our teenage son was diagnosed with Cancer in 2018. All of the treatment was done in Vancouver at BC Children's Hospital. This split our family up. One parent stayed with our daughter in Kelowna and the other parent went to Vancouver for over a year of hard cancer treatment. Thanks to support and the Grace of God, our son is doing well. Heritage supported our family through this nightmare. The staff, parents and students gave so much to our family.The Vice Principal of the Secondary school is Matt Dorie. He has been a blessing to our family, and a guardian angel at the school for both of our children. He went so far beyond just his job to show Heritage's love and support to our family.The students and the families at Heritage matter to the staff. If you are looking for a quality Christian education for your child or children.. Check out Heritage... They have so much to offer.

I spent 10 years at HCS (grades 3-12) and had an incredible experience; I would recommend this school to anyone who is serious about Christian Education. The teachers and staff care not only about the student's academics, but also for their personal and spiritual well-being.Smaller classes meant that I was seen and heard by my teachers, which meant that I could not hide in the background. It also meant that I had more opportunities to grow and flourish in areas that I wouldn't have had in a larger, secular school setting.It is because of these extra-mile teachers that I had throughout elementary, middle-school, and secondary that have inspired me to go into the education field myself. I cannot say enough great things about this school!

We have children in both the Early Learning Centre (Daycare/Pre-K) and Elementary School and cannot say enough about this loving school. Teachers and Admin are phenomenal at developing the whole" child

My kids have been going to this school for the last 3 years and what I love about the school is that they teach the whole child.....mind, heart and soul. The staff truly love Jesus and desire to see their students walk in the fulness that God has for them. It takes a village to raise our kids and I'm so thankful for the heart of this school and the authenticity & vulnerability that comes from the staff and leadership. I work at the school as well and I have seen first hand the compassion and kindness that the staff have for the kids. I have seen and heard the prayers and giving that has taken place when a child/family is struggling and I have seen the celebration and joy that happens when a child/family succeeds. I'm beyond thankful for what HCS has done for my children.

I have 2 kids attending here for the past 6 years. This school has such amazing heart, and the teachers have been outstanding and supportive to my kids. It takes a village to raise a child, and this school is a true testament of this through it's community spirit, character development, and supportive education team.

I just met with all of our kids teachers over the past two weeks, and I have to say, I am blown away by the incredible teaching staff at Heritage: They know my kids! And they care so deeply.First of all, I’m so blessed that they took extra time out of their lunches, or stayed late after school to meet with us because we were out of town during the scheduled parent teacher interviews.We talked about their academics, which are fantastic, but I was struck how in every conversation we quickly went deeper, talking about our children’s emotional landscape and spiritual journeys.The grade 6 teacher Chris asked us about specific situations that happened with classmates, and him asking if what was happening at school was affecting our daughter at home. We talked about the character trait of going beyond simply “tolerance” and actively pursuing “kindness”. This is helping us use similar language so we can reinforce the same character growth at home.That is an example of what is so fantastic about HCS: the teachers truly care about my children developing an authentic relationship with Christ, wrestling with their faith questions, and helping reaffirm the character and academic growth our children need. Both at home and at school.If you want a school where teachers are partners with you in an authentic whole-person-education, this is your school.
