Heritage Academy is a private not-for-profit, located in Ottawa, Canada. Although our school has programs designed to help children with dyslexia, and attention-deficit disorder, it is open to all students who seek to maximize their overall potential. Its purpose is to provide an educational environment where students Grades 1 – 12 are excited about learning and can discover and meet their full potential, while studying at their own rate on an enriched curriculum. Developing good study skills, fully understanding earlier materials before moving on, and good citizenship are all emphasized

One of the most important facets of our school is that our student to teacher ratio, which is set at a maximum of 10:1, ensures that each student receives the necessary guidance to overcome challenges in the provincial curriculum. Teachers at Heritage are able to customize their lesson plans to suit the individual needs of all students. At this time there are very few schools that offer educational services such as those at Heritage Academy. In addition, we are the only school in Ottawa that exclusively offers the Simultaneous Multisensory Teaching (S.M.T.) technique to students who require assistance in both reading and writing. 

Our school provides a safe and comfortable learning environment where students can develop good study skills, enhance their emotional intelligence and build their self-confidence. All teachers at Heritage Academy are certified and equipped with the pedagogical knowledge to make learning fun and exciting for young minds.

Our Philosophy is that every student ought to enjoy success as a learner and master the curriculum of the school. We value that every student has unique as well as common learning needs, which require a variety of educational strategies and learning activities. Teaching programs and methodologies at the school reflect this value and are structured to acknowledge the learning needs and talents of individual students.
