Heritage Academy has been recognized as one of 64 schools and education-focused organizations that embodies the prestigious YASS Prize STOP Award.  The STOP Award was created to recognize and support schools that accomplish amazing things for students.  Here is what the STOP Award celebrates.
 
 
Why for education?
STOP is defined by 4 core principles that are at the heart of the Foundation’s mission because they have the power to drive educational change for every child.

S

The work must be Sustainable over time, meaning it can be funded independently without continual philanthropy by utilizing public programs that fund the entity where students are learning, regardless of sector.

T

The effort must be Transformational with innovative new approaches that employ 21st century knowledge and technologies, changing the way students are educated and rich in content that is relevant and impactful across all communities.

O

Programs must be Outstanding, or demonstrably successful by every measure that matters. We know what success looks like from the demand of parents for better options for their children.

P

The work requires no permission — Permissionless — and is free to exist and thrive without dependence on regulatory bodies whose rules are often at odds with parent demands and student needs.
