| 1999 | A group of five Augusta citizens respond to the plight of children in the inner-city and begin planning a Christian school. |
| 2000 | They organize as the Board of Directors of Heritage Academy. They research urban education, visit other schools and present to the community a vision for an inner city Christian school that is accessible, affordable and sustainable. |
| 2001 | The school opens in the fellowship hall of a small church in East Augusta with 10 children in kindergarten. The strategic plan calls for adding a grade each year up to eighth grade. |
| 2003 | Heritage Academy begins to look for a permanent location. |
| 2004 | The school continues to grow and moves to another temporary location. |
| 2006 | The historic Houghton School building in Olde Town is purchased and a Capital Campaign for 2.5 million dollars begins. |
| 2007 | After a 190-day production schedule to renovate the first floor, Heritage Academy moves into its new home. |
| 2008 | The school continues to grow and develops plans for renovating the second floor. |
