On November 7, 2025, Heritage Classical Academy hosted its Annual Dinner at the elegant Marriott Key Tower—a truly memorable evening celebrating community, generosity, and our shared mission. This year’s theme, “Love Others,” highlighted the second attribute from our Portrait of a Graduate, reminding us of the Christ-centered calling to love thy neighbor. The Heritage graduate seeks to obey the biblical mandate to love others as self and to do to others as you would have them do to you.

The evening was underwritten and presented by Frank and Malisse Sinito, owners of the Marriott Key Tower, whose generosity made this event possible. Guests enjoyed a warm and inspiring atmosphere filled with fellowship, purpose, and vision for the future of HCA.

We were honored to have Dr. Jason Valley, esteemed Upper School teacher and acclaimed author, as our keynote speaker at this year’s Annual Dinner. Dr. Valley delivered an inspiring address entitled “Beholding Christ and Becoming Love,” which left a lasting impression on all who attended.

Your generosity is transforming lives and shaping the future of Heritage Classical Academy. Through the faithful support of our community, the 2024–2025 Annual Fund raised $645,930, making a profound impact across our campuses.

• 559 students received financial aid, representing 166 HCA families, ensuring that Christ-centered education remains accessible.

• Over $200,000 was invested in enhanced benefits for our dedicated faculty and staff, including medical, dental, and vision coverage—strengthening the team that serves our students daily.

• The Annual Fund also fuels special projects that enrich learning and campus life. This year, we were able to purchase new playground equipment for our early childhood program at the Peninsula campus, creating joyful spaces for our youngest learners.

Every gift matters. Every dollar meets a need. Your generosity is not only providing resources—it is shaping hearts, building community, and advancing the mission of Heritage Classical Academy for the glory of God.

This year, Heritage Classical Academy teachers will spend between 1,250 and 1,300 hours with students—hours devoted to shaping a biblical worldview, revealing the beauty of Christ in all things, and shepherding hearts through both triumph and trial. No one will have a greater impact on our children than our faculty, who daily shoulder the load alongside parents and invest deeply in the lives of each student.

Our goal for the 2025–2026 Annual Fund is $800,000, and every dollar goes directly to students and teachers. This year, HCA will allocate $400,000 toward faculty and staff benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage—an investment we have been able to expand ahead of schedule because of your generosity. Additionally, $650,000 will provide financial aid to students, impacting 300 students and 175 families across our campuses.

Your partnership makes this possible. Prayerfully consider making a contribution to the Annual Fund so that more children can experience daily gospel transformation through Christ-centered education.

We invite you to partner with us as we cultivate lifelong learners who think and live for Christ.
