This school has been remarkable for our family - not just for our children, but also for me and my wife. There are so many opportunities to be involved, to learn, and to be inspired. The academics are wonderful. The teachers are caring and responsive. The administration is visionary, attentive, thoughtful, and decisive. The athletics have been accessible and appropriately competitive. The performing arts have been exceptional. We can’t say enough positive about what is happening at AHS.

Our family found this school when we were moving out to Utah from Ohio. I have nothing but good to say about the school. The curriculum is top-notch, the teachers are top-notch, the administration absolutely gets it and understands what it takes to educate youth in today's world. The athletics programs are also phenomenal. We also know that the coral program is top-notch. We had not use many of the other programs at the school, but I'm confident they are excellent as well. I can recommend this school without hesitation because I see how it has impacted the lives of our two children who are in high school there. They have thrived at American Heritage School.

This school has been such a blessing for our family. Our children are receiving an excellent education. They wake up excited to go to school! They are being challenged to give their very best. The teachers are very kind and communicate well with us. The social environment is built on love and respect for their fellow peers. AHS is a safe environment for teens to navigate, as they mature and grow. It's so comforting to know that AHS is building upon the things we are already instilling in our children at home. My children love being at a k-12 school. Seeing your sibling or your shared friends is very reassuring when you are having a rough day! AHS has become a welcome addition to our village.

Coming from a Junior High School in California, this school is a breath of fresh air. The values and love of country have been refreshing and uplifting. You can feel the difference when you walk on the campus. Our son is so excited to attend this amazing school. We are excited for him to be there. It's pretty great when our son wakes up excited to go to school each day. We are grateful to American Heritage School for the difference it's making in our child's life.

Best private school in Utah hands down. We love how caring the teachers and staff is and how they focus the curricula on developing and providing not just education but developing characters and morals. Wouldn't put our kids anywhere else.

We love American Heritage School! The administration and faculty are top notch. They listen to the concerns of parents and give children an amazing educational experience. The facilities are top notch and they continue to expand campus without incurring debt. We appreciate a school that re-enforces the values and honor code we teach at home. We feel privileged our kids can attend AHS and that we can volunteer and be a part of their education.

This school helps students be motivated to learn. Students are willing to go to school. No drama and no racial discrimination. The only downfall of this school is their tuition is too high.

We spent many years trying to find an excellent educational option for our children. Within just a couple of months of enrolling our kids at American Heritage, we knew we had found the best possible school for them. Each of our five children, with their different abilities and personalities, have thrived at American Heritage. We would highly recommend the school to parents looking for an academically rigorous but nurturing environment for their children.

High racial and social discrimination. Only recommended if you want your kids to suffer a high level of stress

We have been at American Heritage for 10 years. We love the atmosphere, curriculum, and character development we have seen in our children!

American Heritage School has been a blessing to our family. My children have learned principles of self-governing, liberty, and christlike character as they navigate the challenges that middle school brings. The faculty loves their students and strives to create the best learning environment possible. The curriculum is rigorous, but in a good way that encourages children to think outside the box and to learn responsibility for their own academic growth. We highly recommend others to "come and see" what AHS is all about!

I was a student at American Heritage over 20 years ago. Now I am a parent of 4 children at the school! This school's curriculum only continues to improve year after year. I really value their emphasis on faith and building Christian Character. They also do an incredible job of teaching children to reason, research, relate, and record during the learning process. This has helped my children develop critical thinking skills. I love that American Heritage considers itself an extension of the home. I feel like a part of my child's education and rather than trying to counter or do "damage control" to things that they are being taught, the curriculum and wholesome environment serves as another positive reinforcer of values and information being taught at home. American Heritage welcomes parental involvement, and their are ample opportunities to be involved at all levels. As I have taken advantage of these opportunities, I have gotten to know teachers and administration on a more personal level. These are incredible and dedicated individuals who work long hours and make many sacrifices to make the school the special place that it is. As I have volunteered, I have also become more grateful for this unique kind of education and know my children are in good hands. My children are thriving at this school!

While our children have had some great experiences at American Heritage School, and have enjoyed teachers and instruction that are truly above average, there are unfortunately weaknesses in the leadership and administration of the school. It is unfortunate that the school's foundational principles are not reflected by some in administration.

We love the moral/principled education that our children receive. We also appreciate that the school doesn't take any government funding and does not participate in Common Core. There is a great sense of community at the school and wonderful families to associate with.

The School carefully balances high expectations and high love. The administration and teachers know and care about each student. There are many opportunities for students from a variety of athletics to musicals, student government, creative writing, journalism, chess, ballroom, photography, etc.

American Heritage School is a model school. My family has participated in and considered several schools over 16 years. We have been at American Heritage School for the last 8. I have not seen its equal in educating hearts and minds. The faculty, administration, and staff share methods and goals in a unified way across grade levels and departments. My children have been nurtured by loving teachers, mentors, and administrators. I feel supported and validated in the academic and moral goals I have for my children. The school offers my family practical strategies, information, and tips every year that improve our family life in positive ways. The principal (Mr. Beckwith) is a visionary leader with excellent communication skills. He has established a very helpful and effective administrative team and staff. The students at the school influence and inspire my children to be good. It is for these reasons and more that we thank Heaven for American Heritage School on a daily basis. It is truly a great school!

My wife and I love American Heritage. We love that the teachers are free to approach the instruction of truth in a comprehensive manner, combining human observation with revealed knowledge. We love that the school acknowledges that we as parents are responsible for the education of our children and that the school's role is to support parents (not displace them). We love counting all the hassles we don't deal with because there is a uniform and a grooming policy. We love that the school's approach is to teach character and self-discipline as a foundation upon which scholastic excellence can be more effectively built. We would not recommend this school to just anyone. Rather, we would encourage parents considering American Heritage to review the school's mission statement. If you share the priorities they are championing, you will love the school as we do. If you have different priorities, you may appreciate another school more.

I am thrilled with American Heritage School in American Fork, Utah. My third grader is thinking at the level of an adult regarding his role on earth. His teacher has instilled in him a love of learning and he has developed an innate desire to learn. He is experiencing science, math, history etc and internalizing the knowledge and understanding in the greater context of life. He receives both an education of the heart and mind which surpasses what I thought was possible. Thank you American Heritage School and teachers!!!
