Heritage Oak was founded in 1994 and transitioned to classical education in 1998. Since that time, alumni have often returned to teach or have their own children attend.

The mission of Heritage Oak School is to serve Christian families and their children by discipling passionate hearts and strong minds to be ALL for Christ; to:

Adore Jesus first and foremost by honoring Him and nurturing a Godly character

Learn to know God’s Word and His Creation, growing in knowledge and wisdom while thinking clearly with discernment

Love Jesus by serving others and influencing the world with the gospel

Heritage Oak is known for its academic excellence and committment to Biblical truth and values.

 Heritage Oak is a rural school located in the mountains of Southern California in Kern County. Tehachapi is fortunate to have a lower than average cost of living than most of California without sacrificing some of the wonderful benefits. Our area is growing and was recently mentioned in a couple of publications as being one of the top places to live in the United States to work from home due to its proximity to amenities the state has to offer (beach, snow skiing, medical services, etc.). Many families in the areospace industry or serving at Edwards Air Force Base call Tehachapi home.
