ABOUT HCA
Heritage Classical Academy (HCA) is a tuition-free public charter school opening in the fall of 2024, and will be located in the 77092 zip code of Houston, Texas. The school will open with grades K-1 in its first year and grow into a full pre-K through 8th classical school by adding a new grade every year.
HCA is a unique option for families looking for a free public school alternative that can deliver academic vigor, a focus on character formation and leadership, and the development of public speaking, debate, and logic skills. Children at HCA are introduced to language mastery from a young age, learning Latin and Greek prefixes K through 5th grade and beginning formal Latin in the 6th grade.
