Heritage Academy offers an exceptional campus on EVIT grounds called Paul Revere Academy. We have established an incredible partnership to allow scholars to enroll in EVIT programs the academic year they turn 16. For most, this means they can begin Career Technical Education (CTE) programs as sophomores (10th grade), and earn more than one technical certificate by graduation! Additionally, EVIT now offers pathways leading to Associate Degrees, providing even greater opportunities for your scholar!
Our location and flexible scheduling create a seamless educational experience where scholars can:
-
Complete core academic classes (ELA, Math, Science, History, and credit recovery)
-
Pursue specialized CTE courses at EVIT
This unique combination offers:
-
Small class sizes for personalized attention.
-
55-minute focused learning sessions.
-
Sports and extracurricular opportunities.
-
Dual enrollment options for earning college credit at Paul Revere Academy and EVIT.
-
Workforce-ready skills upon graduation.
Scholars still benefit from a Monday–Thursday schedule, with EVIT classes adding a half-day on Fridays.
