These are children who have no one to care for them or educate them, and as a result, Kenya is experiencing an enormous amount of wasted potential. In a desire to positively impact the lives of these desperately needy children, we began operating Heritage Leadership Academy in January 2016. Instead of just keeping these children alive, we are committed to giving them a life which includes opportunities for a good education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hlaedu.victoryfaithchurch.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC_0344-1024x684.jpg?resize=750%2C501\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hlaedu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC_0344-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hlaedu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC_0344-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hlaedu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC_0344-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hlaedu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC_0344-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1027&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hlaedu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/DSC_0344-scaled.jpg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Vision is to provide an excellent, well rounded education to these needy children so that they can live fruitful, productive lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The education we offer to our students is critical to raise them from vulnerability into God\u2019s higher purpose for their lives.

This allows educators to assist the learners achieve exemplary results in their learning journey. All lessons are tailored to enable the child achieve growth physically, socially, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use the <em>Christian Montessori Method<\/em> in the Kindergarten from playgroup through PP2. This curriculum has been successfully used in many nations for over 107 years. The child will be able to learn at their pace through interacting and engaging with materials and the environment. The Christian aspect ensures that the teacher is deliberate and<br>sensitive to meet the need of a child on a daily basis, even when that need is only love. We are a member of the Christian Montessori Fellowship which is a community of educators and school leaders who are seeking to nurture and develop each child\u2019s character and unique abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Primary level, Grade 1 forward uses the Competence Based Curriculum which also encourages individual, child-centered learning and includes the tools to identify and nurture each child\u2019s strengths and abilities. Information technology is embraced at HLA and will be an integral part of the learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also offer a variety of co-curricular activities such as swimming, football, music and Superbook Bible curriculum to enhance the holistic development of every child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kindergarten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kindergarten Classes are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Play Group (Zoe) <\/strong>&#8211; 3-4 yr Olds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PP1 (Agape) <\/strong>&#8211;  4-5 yr olds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PP2 (Shalom) <\/strong>&#8211; 5-6yr olds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We currently offer Primary education from Grade 1 to Grade 5 using the national CBC curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To inquire about a space for your child, please use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hlaedu.org\/index.php\/enquiry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enquiry <\/a>form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The Pillars of HLA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"146\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hlaedu.victoryfaithchurch.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bible2-1.png?resize=146%2C128\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong>Biblical Teaching In Every Grade<\/strong> &#8211;\nThe core of our school is giving our students strong spiritual guidance based on scripture.
