Heritage Oak Private Education
We don't just teach - we transform.
What began as a small preschool in 1966 has expanded in a Pre-K through Grade 8 learning community where teachers guide students in developing strong intellectual and personal foundations. Our school has provided a challenging and enriching education, and our students consistently rank in the top 10% nationally on standardized tests. We promote student responsibility, high-level thinking, creativity, and respect for individual differences. Our students enjoy memories like our 3rd grade Royal Ball, Cotillion program, overnight field trips, and more.
