Heritage Presbyterian Preschool

Since 1984, Liberty Bible Academy has taught Cincinnati-area families on a 12-acre campus in Mason, in Deerfield Township. We are a private, nondenominational Christian school for preschool through grade 12, a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, and chartered by the Ohio Department of Education with state-licensed teachers. Preschool starts with our Three-Year-Old Program. Families pick a two-, three- or five-day week, with half days from 8:30 to 11:30 or full days from 8:30 to 3:30. Kindergarten meets five full days and begins the phonetic reading program that anchors our elementary grades. Core subjects use ACSI, Bob Jones and ABeka materials, and every student has art and P.E. each week, with Spanish, music and computer classes at all levels. High school runs eight 45-minute periods with college prep courses, online electives and Ohio College Credit Plus. Through a Liberty University partnership, qualified students can take college courses and even earn an associate's degree. Students attend Bible class daily and chapel each Friday, and join basketball, volleyball, the school musical, an annual mission week and an international mission trip every other year. We accept Ohio EdChoice scholarships.

Mason City Schools started its preschool in response to a 1992 federal mandate requiring districts to serve 3- to 5-year-olds with disabilities, and from the start we chose an integrated model. Each multi-age classroom at the Mason Early Childhood Center on Hickory Woods Drive blends children with identified special needs and typically developing peers. The curriculum follows Ohio's Early Learning and Development Standards. Each day mixes whole-group, small-group and individual instruction with center-based activities, time in a motor room and outdoor play, and classes are balanced by age span and gender. Preschool meets Monday through Thursday in either a morning session (9:20 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.) or an afternoon session (1:05 to 3:50 p.m.), assigned by home address. Children must be 3 and live in the district. Typically developing peers enter through an annual lottery and pay monthly tuition, and they must be toilet trained.

Mason High School is dedicated to serving students in grades 9 through 12, with a mission focused on providing a rigorous academic experience tailored to meet the diverse needs of all learners. The school fosters an inclusive environment that encourages students to engage in challenging coursework and extracurricular activities, promoting a strong sense of community and connection. Central to Mason High School's philosophy is the belief in building meaningful relationships, where students are supported in developing essential life skills alongside their academic pursuits. The school emphasizes Inclusive Excellence, ensuring that every student feels welcomed, valued, and seen. This commitment is exemplified through initiatives led by students themselves, including various heritage clubs and community projects that encourage social engagement. Personalized learning experiences are also a hallmark of Mason High School, with innovative programs like boat regattas designed to make learning relevant and engaging. What sets Mason High School apart is its low student-teacher ratio and strong partnerships with families, creating an environment where each student's unique needs are prioritized. Through active family involvement and community events, Mason High School cultivates a supportive atmosphere that empowers students to achieve their future goals while fostering a vibrant school culture.
