The curriculum of The Heights School is rooted in a perspective that sees the abundant goodness of the world, of all creation, as a fundamental governing principle.  In the words of Saint Josemaria Escriva, “The world is not evil, because it comes from the hands of God, because it is His creation, because Yahweh looked upon it and saw that it was good.  It is we ourselves, men and women, who make it evil and ugly with our sins and unfaithfulness.”  This truth naturally leads us to study, to reflect upon and to contemplate all the human riches of our past and the world of today as ways to discover God in the ordinary things, to know and “serve Him in and from the ordinary, secular, and civil activities of human life.”  The Heights will thus refrain from narrowly embracing one ideology, political agenda, philosophical school or approach to the rich drama of human history and thought.  Grounded in the western tradition, a Heights education values the abundant goodness of the world as created by God and sees the nobility and heroism in struggles of individuals, both men and women, throughout history.
