How National Heritage Academies Schools Waste No Time for a Strong Start to the Year
Published: Sep 18, 2025
When it comes to your child’s education, you want the best. You want a school where your child feels safe, supported, and challenged to do their best. That’s the type of education they’ll get at a charter school like National Heritage Academies (NHA®), we believe education is about more than test scores.
Melissa Brandon, a principal and curriculum instructor for NHA, explains it’s about helping your child grow into a confident, caring person.
“NHA charter schools offer parents and students the ability to receive high-quality character instruction aligned to strong moral virtues. This creates a foundation that sticks with our students as they grow and become active members of their communities.”
That means your child will learn not just math, reading, and science, but also respect, wisdom, perseverance, and kindness skills that last a lifetime.
And because every child is unique, NHA understands that sometimes a traditional school setting doesn’t meet their needs. NHA charter schools give families another option.
As Melissa Brandon puts it: “Our NHA charter schools open the door for students that may not fit the mold of a typical student at their traditional community school. These families and students are provided a safe and welcoming community that are focused on both strong moral character and academic performance.” Charter schools open the door to new opportunities for your child. They provide strong academics, character-building lessons, and a safe, welcoming community all at no cost to families.
Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that are open to every student. Just like traditional public schools, they must follow all education, health, and safety rules. But because they are independent from local school districts, they have more flexibility to design programs that fit the needs of students.
That means your child gets the quality of a private school education, without the cost.
Every charter school is held accountable by an authorizer such as a university, community college, or board of education that checks in to make sure the school is meeting academic goals, staying financially stable, and keeping students safe.
This accountability ensures your child’s school is always focused on helping them succeed, both in the classroom and beyond.
National Heritage Academies partners with more than 100 charter schools across nine states. Behind the scenes, experts in curriculum, safety, health, and operations provide resources so teachers and principals at NHA schools can dedicate their energy to what they do best teaching your child.
