Heights is a knowledge building school that strongly believes that knowledge is the seed to curiosity. We subscribe to the principles of explicit instruction in all subject areas. Our approach to education is rooted in educational research on teaching, learning, and cognitive science to ensure our students have an elementary experience that propels our children into becoming confident readers, writers, problem-solvers, thinkers, and leaders.
Students receive comprehensive and rigorous instruction in literacy and math, but also benefit from art, music, physical education, social studies, and STEM classes.
KIPPsters at Heights Academy develop a love for learning, and build the skills and mindsets necessary to set them up for success in middle school and beyond.
Extracurriculars
