Heritage Academy Gateway, the Queen Creek location of the award-winning Academy, is located on the border of Queen Creek and Mesa. In Jul 2022, the school added K-8 to its already established ninth through 12th-grade campus. The location had been in service for five years before the addition.
The school is best known for its exceptional faculty and advanced curriculum, which incentivizes learning by rewarding its high-performing youth with scholarships and awards upon graduation. The school also hosts an array of extracurricular activities for students, including team and individual athletics, social clubs and performative arts programs.
To better prepare youth for their futures, the school offers a College Fast Track Program that provides dual-credit courses. Particularly motivated students can even earn an Associate's degree through local, accredited colleges while attending the academy.
Heritage Academy prides itself on conservative values, an award-winning curriculum and teaching staff, and its focus on student success. Supportive parent testimonials featured on its website boast about the positive impact the school has had on their children and in their communities.

My heritage experience has been wonderful in many ways. Heritage is a safe environment for everyone except for the fact that the bathrooms have curtains instead of doors which is the worst design ever. That would be one of the only parts of the school I would change, adding doors to the bathrooms. Heritage's athletic are wonderful. There are many sports to choose from it is great.The overall rating I would give to heritage would be a 4/5 because there are just a few things missing.

It is a pretty good school. Academics are good. Our sports aren't the best, probably because we don't even have a real football field. Most teachers are good, but some can be annoying. First off, I would like doors on our bathrooms instead of curtains.

The teachers there are well paid and very educated. For the most part, they genuinely care about the well being of the students. It is a very small school, so there aren't any libraries, cafeterias, counselors, or nurses. The staff is college focused and offers many opportunities for dual enrollment and to receive an associates degree before you graduate.

This school offers an amazing college prep with dual enrollment program. About half of the students graduate from high school with the Associates Degree! They can enroll in both high school and college and take them at the same time, right here on campus. I love it. My experience has been that the a...
