We believe that in-class and out-of-class experiences complement each other and provide for a rich educational environment.

Holistic Emphasis
Heritage students are people who think, value, relate, and wonder about themselves and their world. They have spiritual, academic, physical, emotional, and social needs. To meet these needs, we provide a variety of opportunities that reflect the unique and holistic character of each individual.


Caring, Supportive Community
As a member of the Heritage community, you will make friendships that will last a lifetime. The student body meets regularly for times of celebration and worship as well as in smaller 'networking' groups. All students are encouraged to get involved in prayer and study groups, community service and ministry, and, student body leadership and decision-making.


Activities
The student-led Activities Committee plans regular social events and helps other groups with outreach and mission opportunities. Besides these all-college activities, various small groups provide the opportunity to develop deeper relationships with fellow students.

The Cambridge/Kitchener/Waterloo area provides ready access to a full range of musical, dramatic, and artistic events. Within an easy drive are sites as diverse as the Toronto Rogers Centre and the Stratford Shakespearian Festival theatres.


Athletics
The Athletics Department is designed to assist students in understanding the use of sports in ministry. From the development of outreach programs, informal teaching, or planned seminars, students are encouraged to integrate their love of sports with their love of God.

Our school also offers intramural programs and annual sports challenges. Our facilities include a full-size gym with a cushioned hardwood floor, a fitness room, and a rock-climbing wall.


Employment
A limited number of positions for student employment are available on campus in: student services, the cafeteria, maintenance services, the library, and administrative offices.

Off-Campus
There are many employment opportunities in nearby hotels, restaurants, and retail outlets. Many of these will be posted on our employment board. Also, the Field Education department posts church and ministry positions.

Leadership
The Heritage Student Union is composed of all students enrolled in an academic program of the college. The Executive Committee and various committee chairs are elected each spring and along with representatives of various interest groups form the Student Commons. The Student Union Constitution governs the activities of these groups. Clubs and specialized sports teams are formed annually based upon student interest.

Committees seek the input and involvement of new students each year. Generally, one has opportunities to become involved with: Athletics, Publications, Social Events, Missions and Outreach, and other committees.
