Heritage Heights Academy

Heritage Heights Academy Heritage Heights Academy is a tuition-free public charter school in the Cherry Creek School District From there, it was a busy few months.

HHA began as an idea in March of 2014 when three parents wanted something more in their children's education. We wanted a challenging, Core Knowledge curriculum, parent involvement, uniforms, a small school environment, and character development. We met with the Cherry Creek School District (CCSD) and the Colorado League of Charter Schools and recruited other passionate and talented parents who sh

ared our excitement over this new idea. We didn't think it was necessary to “reinvent the wheel”, so we began our search for high-performing charter schools already in existence in Colorado. After much research and several tours, we discovered Liberty Common in November of 2014. Liberty Common is a consistently high-performing Core Knowledge school in Ft. Collins that was willing and able to support us in our efforts to start a similar program in Cherry Creek. Our charter was completed by July 2015 with support from several members of our community and other charter support organizations. HHA's charter was officially approved by CCSD on February 8, 2016, becoming the second charter school in the district. HHA officially opened its doors in August 2016 with grades K-5th. HHA plans to add one grade each year until it reaches 2 or 3 classes per grade K- 8th grade.

POV: the PE teachers sneak a peek at the gym mid-construction and they're ALREADY unwell about it!

Rating the gym so far:
🧱 Concrete subfloor? Somehow still iconic
🥽 Hard hats required? Very coach-core
📐 Vision? Immaculate
😍 Coach hearts eyes fr fr? Already confirmed, floor or no floor

Not us already mentally planning relay races and four-square tournaments on a floor that doesn't exist yet 🏃‍♀️

Manifesting that shiny floor into existence one hard hat visit at a time!

8th Graders Getting Hands-On with Algebra!

Who says equations have to be boring? This week our mathematicians traded pencils for Algebra Tiles and built equations block by block!

Step 1: Model the equation with tiles
Step 2: Solve it using the properties of equality
Step 3: Level up — create a trickier equation that takes multiple properties to crack
Step 4: Swap equations with a partner pair and solve each other's challenges!

It's problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking all rolled into one hands-on lesson. Who knew balancing an equation could look this fun?!

Kinda chic to finally get a new gym 🏀✨

Grateful for the crews putting in the work and the community that made this happen. Can't wait to see it filled with games, assemblies, and memories!

'Twas the night before school, and all through the halls,
Not a locker was slamming, not a bounce off the walls.
The chairs were all stacked up on tables with care,
In hopes that bright students soon would fill every chair...

So rest well tonight, dear families, and know —
Your teachers are ready, excited to grow
This year full of learning, of friendships, of fun...

See you Monday, dear students — school has begun! 🍎✏️📚
