Tours & Retreats
Heritage Academy offers our scholars opportunities and experiences, outside of school hours, that help build character, learn new skills, and provide memories that will last a lifetime.

Independence Study Tour
In the same spirit as the Liberty Tour, the “Independence Study Tour” takes high school scholars (11th and 12th-grade only) to numerous sites that are meaningful to our country’s historical foundation, such as Williamsburg, Monticello, Washington D. C., Philadelphia, Valley Forge, Gettysburg, and many more! Typically this tour takes place in October each year. Our Laveen campus is next scheduled for the Independence tour during the fall of the 2023-2024 school year.
