Though some vacation periods will vary slightly, the National Heritage Academies calendar typically follows that of the public school district in which it resides. National Heritage Academies are state-funded charter schools. There is no cost to attend these academies. National Heritage Academies does not have set district boundaries beyond state boundaries. All students are welcome to enroll at any academy.
Every teacher meets or exceeds state teaching requirements.
Teachers are screened thoroughly and interviewed by principals. In many cases, parents participate in the interview process. Ride sharing and carpooling have proven to be effective alternatives. The school office can assist in sharing information and organizing carpools among students. In New York, charter school students are provided access to public transportation.
