Mission Statement

The Blue Heron Academy has acted upon

and demonstrated a strong commitment to

ethical and valid education and training in

natural and alternative health care. The

Academy is dedicated to uplifting and

positively promoting the image of natural

and alternative health care and to providing

motivated students the opportunity to serve

their communities and mankind through

the natural healing professions.

Page 4: Blue Heron Academy Catalog

The Blue Heron Academy was begun in

1980 by Dr. Gregory T. Lawton, a licensed

Chiropractor in Michigan, a licensed

Naprapath in Illinois, a certified acupuncturist

in Idaho, and member of the Idaho

Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

The Blue Heron Academy of

Healing Arts and Sciences is a

State of Michigan Approved and

Licensed Post-Secondary school

Page 5: Blue Heron Academy Catalog

In the 1980’s the Blue Heron Academy began by providing

low cost and fast track training classes.

The Blue Heron Academy has always been dedicated to

providing accessible and affordable educational programs

that promote easy access to rewarding vocational careers.

The median cost and total debt loan to an average BHA

student is less than $6000 dollars, far less than the tens of

thousands of dollars of debt that students incur at other

schools and colleges.

The Blue Heron Academy recognizes the inherent human

dignity of all members of the human family. Thus, it does

not discriminate on any basis. The Blue Heron Academy

is an Equal Opportunity institution and does not

discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, religion,

sex, national origin, ancestry, disability or handicap in any

educational opportunity.

The Blue Heron Academy specializes in providing high quality

educational opportunities within small group settings. Many

students prefer intimate and close personal interaction as

classroom environments.
