Heartwood Community School is an innovative, public charter school dedicated to serving the whole child.
By working closely with families, we ensure each student receives the unique academic, emotional, and social support they need to make a meaningful impact on their community.
What makes us unique
-
We foster deep, enduring relationships with every family, viewing them as essential partners in education and positioning our school as the vibrant hub of our community.
-
We set and maintain high expectations for all students and provide the comprehensive support—academic, emotional, and social—needed to meet those expectations.
-
Our “Education Plus” model gives each family access to two lead teachers, counselors, interventionists, and social services to ensure personalized attention, diverse teaching styles, and a rich collaborative learning environment that maximizes each student's potential.
-
We're the community's cornerstone, fostering growth and success for children, adults, and families. Our impact extends beyond the classroom, creating a thriving ecosystem where individual and community prosperity intersect.
Our new home nestled in the trees of Ridgeland
