Secondary Programs for Gifted Learners
HEYA’s full-time program is the complete educational solution you’ve been looking for to replace your current school or homeschooling program. HEYA’s weekly schedule for each semester allows for a great deal of flexibility, as students take the lead in balancing academic learning, deep-dive exploration, mentoring and coaching, as well as socialization. Unlike the Primary program, our Secondary program ensures students are finding their own balance between guidance and independent exploration.
Design Your Own Learning Pathway
HEYA pathways comprise four main pillars to allow each student to learn in a way that is both customized and comprehensive. We begin the building process with the Core Curriculum, incorporating the academic rigor demanded by gifted students and elite universities, then build in the Deep-Dive courses that allow students to experience the academic side of their passions. We follow this with Specializations, which give the student a real-world idea of how their passions can be applied professionally, then round out everything with HEYA Character, where we build the Universal Skills that everyone needs in order to thrive, both now and in the future!
STEP 1: Choose Core Curriculum and Diploma from Top Schools
While traditional Schools do not give students any choices, Heya offers a range of top online schools from which you can get Certifications and Diplomas. This will provide more in-depth and enriched study, which is especially beneficial for gifted and talented students.
STEP 2: Choose Subjects to Deep Dive!
Is there an academic subject that is especially interesting to you? HEYA lifts limitations and allows you to study any subject at as high a level as you are able without age limits. We also encourage students to take deep-dive courses from programs such as Johns Hopkins University's CTY.
STEP 4: Build your Character
While HEYA believes that students should be free to explore their futures in-depth, we also know that building a successful and fullfilling future is much more than just knowledge. As such, our curriculum is designed to provide a core of what we refer to as Universal Skills, such as:
-
Speech and Communication
-
Time Management and Goal-Setting
-
Networking and Mentoring
-
Channeling Creativity
-
Documenting Progress and Reflection
-
Personal Financial Awareness and Responsibility

Dual-Credit Program
HEYA partners with over 500 US universities to offer their courses directly, in a way that allows students to simultaneously earn credit for both high school and college. Graduate early with both a high school diploma and an Associate's Degree, allowing you to complete your Bachelor's degree in two years instead of four.
