Welcome to Heritage Homeschool Academy
Heritage Homeschool Academy is a private homeschool located in Acadia Parish specializing in grades 5th – 8th. We offer an alternative to traditional school with an emphasis placed on students who learn differently.
Admissions
Heritage Homeschool Academy exists to provide a safe alternative for students to learn. Students will, therefore, be carefully selected in order to maintain a student body of high moral standards. Heritage Homeschool is dedicated to teaching students who want to learn and are willing to help their fellow classmates who may be struggling just as much as they are.
All students (and parents) who wish to attend Heritage Homeschool Academy will have a personal interview with Mrs. Nolan prior to being accepted.

What curriculum is used at Heritage? We use a wide variety of curricula, I have found that this works best when working with students who learn differently. If something doesn’t work, it can be modified. In addition to textbooks, I also supplement with class discussions, related video clips, and audio links.
Where does my child go upon leaving Heritage? When your child is ready to leave Heritage after the 8th grade, we highly recommend Summit Christian Academy. This is our sister homeschool that teaches grades 9th-12th. If you want your child to go to public school, they must take and pass the LEAP2025. Please note that Heritage does not “teach the test”.
