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.
