Academics

Heritage Middle School utilizes a team teaching model to provide its students instruction in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies.  Additionally, through related arts offerings, students are exposed to art, physical education, life skills, general music, world language, teen life, and technology offerings in nine-week intervals to further enhance their educational experience.  The Heritage Middle staff implements diversified instruction techniques including cooperative learning groups, hands-on class activities, tiered assignments, high-level questioning, problem-based learning, flexible grouping and independent study to meet the learning profile and interests of every learner.  By using this model, all students are challenged at the rate and degree of complexity that matches their individual needs.

Special education students are served inclusively with the special education staff working cooperatively with general educators to provide support, modifications, and adaptations.  Students who are certified as intellectually gifted are served both inclusively and in small group situations by a gifted consultant several times each week.

As our mission statement directs, our program is diversified and unique to prepare each of our unique and diverse students to strive for excellence in each and every endeavor whether it be physically, mentally, academically or socially.
