Explore. Learn. Grow.
At Heritage Academy, we believe education goes beyond the classroom. That’s why we offer our scholars unique “Tours”—educational travel experiences that help build character, develop new skills, and create lifelong memories.

For over 30 years, these unforgettable adventures have been a signature part of the Heritage experience, giving students the chance to explore history, culture, and leadership in meaningful, hands-on ways.

DON’T FORGET 

Please update your scholar’s grade level with MyHotLunchbox.
