School Notes:

Each new student is tested for placement in the Saxon Math program--a highly rated curriculum that keeps participants functioning at, or above, grade level.
Each student participates in Classic Ed, where they study history and literature on a timeline from the ancients to modern day.
Math and science are required throughout a student's tenure at American Heritage. We believe such training will equip them to become competent and competitive in whatever course they choose in life.
Foreign language and arts courses are also taken in order to facilitate a well-rounded individual.
