Our Schools
American Heritage Charter Schools are designed to provide high-quality educational choice within the public school system. Our innovative programs provide a seamless academic progression from kindergarten through high school. We strive to develop in our students a solid base of fundamental knowledge, critical thinking skills, and positive character traits including honesty, integrity, and personal responsibility. American Heritage Charter Schools also seek to instill in all of our students the traditional ideals of hard work, discipline, and service, which are necessary to provide leadership in the community and enjoy a productive and meaningful life.
Each of our programs is unique and they all work together to accomodate the differing needs of our diverse student population. To determine which path might be best for your student, read the descriptions below and follow the links to the program websites
