Finally got settled in from the summer. It was great being home and catching up with all our students.
It was humbling to see how much change we are making in their lives. Seeing them gave me a new hope and made me even more excited about where we are going.
As you may also have known, we were doing some construction work at our campus in Tirinyi with support from the Davis Peace Project Fund. Our new classroom block is underway and expected to be complete by the beginning of the next school year (January). Once complete, it’s expected to accommodate over 120 new students.
We also completed our partnership with Joy to the World Foundation and to help with the completion of the new classroom block, we have set up a fundraising page where you can donate to support this work.
Our partnership means that you can now make a tax-deductible donation to Heritage Prime Academies directly through their platform. Below is a link to our campaign page.

As always, we appreciate all the continued support, and for those who haven’t hopped on yet, please do so to help us extend quality education to more students.
