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.

Our Mission

Heritage Classical Academy's mission is to develop every child’s knowledge to a state of wisdom, and every child’s character to a state of virtue through a K-8 classical education with a focus on civics that prepares them to be powerful participants in our democracy.

Our Vision

Through the study of the world’s greatest classics; the study of Latin, grammar, logic, and rhetoric; and through a rich exposure to history, math, and science, Heritage Classical Academy’s students will develop the rhetorical skills of history’s most adept statesmen, the self-initiative of the world’s most intrepid entrepreneurs, and the creativity and innovation of today’s movers and shakers. Because a classical education focuses on shaping a child’s potential for intellectual as well as technical pursuits, students of Heritage Classical Academy will be prepared to show their leadership in the broadest range of fields both academic and vocational.
