Heritage Christian Academy (Minnesota)

Heritage Christian Academy is a private Christian school which educates children from Kindergarten Development class for three-year-olds through the high school grades. It is an outreach ministry of Grace Free Lutheran Church, formerly Medicine Lake Lutheran Church, to the Christian community (students from 80 different area churches attend this school).

Heritage Christian Academy was founded in 1981 by members of Medicine Lake Lutheran Church as Medicine Lake Lutheran Academy. The school's first president was Mrs. Beverly Enderlein. She retired in 2006, after 25 years as president. The current president is Mrs. Tonya Scott. In the summer of 2002, the name Medicine Lake Lutheran Academy was changed to Heritage Christian Academy.

In January 2003, Heritage Christian Academy opened the doors of its new facility in Maple Grove, where it now houses Kindergarten Development through 12th grades.

Heritage Christian Academy is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, the same organization through which accreditation is being pursued.
