"As an alumna I can attest to the positive impact that Escondido Charter High School has had on my life. I have always felt ahead of the curve in academia. The rigor and effort my former teachers (now colleagues) expected of me drove me to succeed where many of my collegiate peers failed. The teachers genuinely care for the students and provide the best learning experience possible." - Tamara El-Hayek, Teacher & Alumna

"The outpouring of love and support from this school and its families has truly been overwhelming. She is loving school. I truly feel she will thrive here." - Heather Mason, Parent

"Being a part of American Heritage Charter Schools is like being a part of a family. Every day when my children go to school, I know they are getting the very best education, the best teachers and staff, a safe environment, and a great school experience." - Kristene Hanson, Parent

“Heritage Flex was the change I needed. The staff is phenomenal and amazing. They are fearless and invested. They are good people who care about my kids. I have learned that the "best" is not just what's in books and in grades. It's more. It's the relationships and the partnering of teachers and parents. It's the cultivation of the whole person.” - Eleni Yphantides, Parent
