our core+ model means...

● Students earn required high school credits in the four core subjects (math, english, history, science) 
● Enrichment opportunities include: student-led conferences, social and community events, Spirit Days & special lunches, yearbook club/ASB, sports through local clubs or PSPs, and more!
● ​Flexibility to take dual enrollment courses
Heart High is a unique hybrid program providing a Christ-centered, academically strong education, offering a more college-style schedule as a stepping-stone for college-bound students. Two on-campus days focus on core classes, an optional third day focuses on electives, and home days are used for independent classwork. In this program, parents no longer teach their high schooler, but instead shift into the role of administrator or educational facilitator. Students will take ownership of their home days by following a syllabus and completing assignments provided by teachers. 

Heart High is a true partnership with families in creating a full high school experience for their student that nurtures strong community and develops godly character, while still utilizing a hybrid model so that students have the freedom to create an educational experience unique to their interests, passions, and values.

Heart High is currently enrolling 9th and 10th grade for the 2026-2027 academic year at our San Juan Capistrano campus.​
