Heartland Lakes Community School

Mission Statement

We exist to empower scholars to bravely live their truth, to become wise stewards of the land and resources and to ignite lasting curiosity that leads to positive change in their school, their communities, their world and themselves.

Our Purpose

An emphasis on outdoor learning by using the environment with which we live and learn by utilizing both structured and unstructured outdoor learning spaces; we intend to be an expeditionary learning school where students work together on a specific project throughout the school year to achieve a common goal. HLCS will be a smaller community school with smaller class sizes which will lead to more individualized attention and care.

Our Guiding Philosophy

To develop and meet the needs of the whole child. Providing hands-on learning experiences fostering curiosity and allowing students to discover their abilities, values, and passions. All members of the school community will strive to take responsibility for their learning, collaborate and build mutual trust so all individuals feel safe and confident to take responsible risks. Our school will intentionally foster a space of inclusivity for all members.
