Heritage Boys Academy

    Boys are expected to be ready for room and uniform inspections at any time of the day, and they are taught all tasks with firmness, but with patience, instilling discipline in a Godly way. All military exercises are reinforced with application from God's Word, which is vital to achieve complete success and change in the youth. Godly discipline and character is what is lacking most in youth today. Our program conducts military drill formations and exercises designed to promote teamwork, and listening skills. All responses are accompanied by "Yes, sir" or "No, sir", and performance of all tasks are monitored closely and awarded by skill levels of achievement and rank which will be displayed on uniforms once they are achieved. This promotes self-motivation and determination which are much needed ingredients for all of life's endeavors.








Life is not worth much without goals. We seek to achieve goals in these boys lives while they are here. The first thing we teach right out of the starting gate is (1) Respect. Young men are taught to respond in a respectful mannner at all times, and display positive attitudes to all authority, and to each other. All commands are responded to with a Yes,sir or no, sir, and the young men are taught to obey without question or bad attitude.

     Another character quality we teach is (2) Responsibility. This is taught through a variety of work tasks designed to teach the boys to always "do their best work", and to award outstanding effort and performance. Boys are gainfully employed in the gardens located on the property where they grow a great deal of their own food, and they get opportunities to learn much about construction, mechanics, agriculture, and caring for domestic farm animals. This combined with the military training will provide a necessary balance in their life that they will never forget. Kids today need an old fashioned work ethic. Other qualities taught are (3) Repentance - very important, (4) Relationships - with God first, then others, and (5) Resolve - moral integrity to make right decisions.

Heritage Boys Academy Educational Program

            Heritage Boys Academy offers a comprehensive diagnostic test to see where each child is educationally. We then place the child appropriately in a paced program designed to help him conquer the weak areas quickly and make outstanding progress toward graduation.   We have had many of our youths graduate here receiving a high school diploma from our approved high school curriculum, or we offer GED options as well. This is based on the case by case educational needs of each youth. Because of our high staff to student ratio, we are able to offer tutoring in trouble areas, and get each child back on track educationally. In addition, we have many options for vocational training in technical areas such as mechanics, agriculture, farming, construction, landscaping, and other skills.
