Heritage Academy offers quality Christian education
By Shun Norris
AUGUSTA FOCUS Staff Writer
Four-year old Jaßre’
Dominguez listens intently as
the teacher reads a story to
him and his fellow classmates.
Listening and following direc
tions are only a mere part of
the curriculum at Heritage
Academy.
Heritage Academyisahead
start school whose mission
and visionis to provide a qual
ity, Christian education tothe
children of low income fami
lies in urban Augusta.
The school was started by
executive director Linda
Tuccianrone and Jan and Fin
Hitchcock. After visiting a
similar school in Chicago, the
three knew that the city of
Augusta could have the same
thing. Because the school
scales tuition toincome, there
are donors in the city who
help pay to keep the program
going. Churches, corpora
tions, and individuals all play
a part in the future of Heri
tage Academy.
“This (donors) helps us
makeupthedifferencebetween
what a family is able to pay
and what it costs us,” says
Tuccianrone.

According to Tuccianrone,
itactually costs around $5,500
a year per child. Why so ex
pensive? The curriculum used
at Heritage is high quality, so
the children may become be
tween one to four grades lev
els above peers.
Heritage is committed to
providing the quality, Chris
tian education that affectsthe
whole child; head, heart, and
hands. Head - what you know;
heart - who you know; hands
- what do you do with your
life.
“Quality, Christian educa
tionisspelled A-B-C: Academi
cally excellent, biblebased, and
character shaping. And that’s
what we’re doing with our
children” says Tuccianrone.

Thecurriculumalsoincludes
direct instruction which uses
phonics-based réading, suffi
cient repetition for mastery,
continuous review, daily oral
response, and weekly testing
and evaluations to accelerate
a child’s progress.
Heritage only has fourrules
for the children: 1) follow in
structions the first time they
are given, 2) treat others the
way you want tobe treated, 3)
do your best for Jesus, and 3)
do take care of your school.
“And that about covers it,”
adds Tuccianrone. “We have
high expectations that they
will do those things. We have
abehavioral management pro
gramin place that helps them
to know that the rules are
MARCH 7, 2002
important and that they can
follow them.”
Karen Watkins has a child,
Sikudhani Watkins, 5, that
attends Heritage Academyand
says she would want no other
place for Sikudhani.
“Heritage hasthe Christian
environment for my daugh
ter. I couldn’t ask for a better
blessing. They (the children)
have people around them all
the time, to give that little
extrathat theyneed,” she said.
“The director is more like a
friend. Youdon’t get that per
sonal with teachers and prin
cipals in the public schools. I
couldn’t ask for a better op
portunity.”
Currently Heritage Academy
only has kindergarten. In the
next school year there will 15
openings for Pre-K, 20 for K,
and 12 for first grade. Every
year thereafter one grade will
be added until the 8* grade is
reached. :
Tuccianrone calls Heritage
the “kingdom school.”
“We’re heretoestablish the
kingdom of God through
Christian education by ad
dressing the needs of children
living in urban cities.”
