Our history
Colorado Heritage Education School System was originally founded as a ministry of Victory Baptist Church (now called Reformation Baptist Church) by Pastor Stephen and Mrs. Teri Ong in 1991. The Ongs, pioneers of home education, began home educating their children in 1986. Stephen and Teri Ong were influential in helping to broaden home education freedoms in Colorado before home education was recognized as a viable means of education in Colorado. Colorado Heritage in its early years offered art and choir classes once a week to homeschooling families as well as record keeping and general supervision through its Independent School.
Today, Colorado Heritage operates as a 501C private Christian school serving families not only through our Independent School but also through our quality Academy and High School Diploma Program. Over the years, we have had the joy of seeing our Academy students learn and grow in the knowledge of the Lord through our Bible classes and as they pursue proficiency in our Science, English, Math, History, Art, and many of our other classes. Our High School Diploma Program has graduated over three hundred high school seniors with an average of 75% of graduates going on to college, with many others pursuing the trades.
Colorado Heritage is blessed with dedicated Christian faculty, staff, volunteers, and board members. The families that join us in our halls find great fellowship one with another, encouraging each other in the worthy calling of Christian-based homeschooling.
