The Classics
Below is the current list of classics that are recognized at Heritage Academy. The Order column represents the suggested order of reading for some of the books. Faculty mentors are prepared to discuss the book with scholars. This list will be updated from time to time. A scholar must contact the mentor before reading the classic to obtain approval, at which time the mentor will give any helpful suggestions. Scholars' files will be annotated as a scholar finishes and is passed off by the mentor. Scholars should not expect credit to be given for several books at the same time. This is a beginning list made up from several other lists. As we gain experience with this program, we will update and improve this list.
