HERITAGE SCHOOL

Home: Welcome

A VIBRANT EDUCATION

 

Surrounded by majestic white oaks, sequoias, fields, and wetlands, Heritage students thrive in an environment that honors childhood and cultivates a sense of wonder. Each child is a marvel, and the pursuit of knowledge can open them to vast opportunities. Children pass through childhood but once, and Heritage School offers a unique program that nurtures curiosity, commitment, and confidence.

​

Since 1984, Heritage School has provided progressive education in Salem. We serve children in first through eighth grade. We believe in learning by doing. We emphasize problem-solving and action as the goals of learning. Our students' experience is rooted in an interdisciplinary, thematic curriculum. Heritage School strives for mastery of academics, emphasizing a joyful education tailored to each child. Heritage students embrace challenges, work cooperatively, and develop self-direction. Our approach creates a culture of learning that prepares children for life in the real world as capable humans who accomplish purposeful goals by taking risks, making mistakes, working hard, and advocating for themselves and others. 

​

The Big Picture:

  • Total enrollment of approximately 35+ students in grades 1-8.

  • Small group instruction forms the core of our program.

  • Students progress at a pace that fits individual abilities and needs.

  • A strong and vital sense of community develops as students of mixed ages grow and learn alongside one another.
