Heritage Christian Academy is an evangelical Christian school which educates children from Kindergarten Development class for four-year-olds through the high school grades. It is an extension of the Christian home and an outreach ministry of Grace Free Lutheran Church,   formerly Medicine Lake Lutheran Church, to the Christian community (students from 90 different area churches attend this school). HCA provides a way to instill and maintain continuity of Biblical principles in young peoples' lives. The academy offers a Christ-centered environment in which to develop physically, spiritually, academically, and socially by using a traditional classroom setting. Students are taught self-discipline and individual responsibility in the areas of work habits and behavior. In addition, extracurricular activities are provided in the areas of art, choral music, orchestra, band, drama and speech, physical education, sports, art club, chess club, and field trips. The academy is known for an atmosphere of mutual love and respect among staff, parents, and students. We are truly an "Academy Family."
Heritage Christian Academy is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International.

Danielle DeMorett, daughter of Don and Tracey DeMorett of Maple Grove, has earned The Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor that a Girl Scout can earn. Ms. DeMorett, 2010 Valedictorian at Heritage Christian Academy, was one of 5% of Girl Scouts (nationwide)to earn the coveted award.

The Gold Award requires a minimum of 65 hours community service, encompassing organizational leadership and networking skills. Danielle chose to address illiteracy in her community, planning a large book drive, which resulted in a donation of more the 1,800 books to the Noble Worship and Service Center. She worked with community groups to encourage and support literacy and met with a group of first graders to discuss the importance of reading. Additionally, she helped four Girls Scout Cadette troops earn their reading badge.

Ms. DeMorett will graduate with highest honors from Heritage Christian Academy in Maple Grove, and plans to study Engineering at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.

Following a class field trip to the Robbinsdale Women’s Center, HCA 10th grade girls were motivated to host a Baby Shower in hopes of replenishing supplies for the material aids (baby clothing, diapers and miscellaneous supplies) room at the Center. Peggy Benicke, Heritage mom and Director of the Robbinsdale Women’s Center remarked, “What a blessing the 10th grade class is to our moms and babies in need. Their gifts are truly appreciated!”
