National Heritage Academies’ (NHA) philosophy of “parental partnership” means that a student’s education begins at home, and that a parent-teacher-child partnership is key to finding greater success and builds confidence in all parties involved. Some of the ways we structure our programming includes frequent updates on your child’s academic progress throughout the school year, and a school newsletter that keeps you informed of what’s going on each month. Parent/teacher conferences are a priority; whether it’s in-person, off-site, or virtually, 100% of parents meet with their child's teacher to discuss academic progress.
Parents are welcome in the building any time and are encouraged to stop by during events and activities that will give insight into the curriculum and learning environment NHA schools offer. In addition to volunteer opportunities, parents and students can look forward to activities such as mystery night and welcoming events for kindergartners or new families.
NHA schools have a strong reputation for building relationships and turning the school community into an extended family. That close-knit environment keeps students engaged and puts parents’ minds at ease knowing their child is in dependable, nurturing hands. It’s a testament to the trust parents have in our schools that keeps generations of families coming back, even as employees!
