I broke my arm near the end of the school last year. We wanted the incident report for it but the principal denied of it and tried to cover it up. I really do guess your health and safety is the "best" Aha? The sue will be completed by the end of next month. Hoping to get you fired Ms Beckstead for the money we lost because of your actions.

After only 5 days of my daughter being here for Pre K they told me that her coloring was not as good as another classmates and that she would most likely have to repeat Pre K again! This school only wants take recognition off the kids that are apparently ahead of their age. AHA teachers are not educators. They do not want children to have fun while learning. My kids have since joined a better private school.

Just when my family thinks we can't possibly love this school more than we already do, they do their magic and my heart expands to love and appreciate them even more. This is the result of their deep commitment to helping every scholar value their role in the world and manifest their greatest future potential. The inclusive and thoughtful curriculum build a solid foundation for academic achievements but so much more, it builds and develops solid character refinement in a supportive and loving atmosphere where the scholars feel safe to grow outside of their comfort zone. Thank you AHA for your quality

This is a great school. It is by far, the best quality education in the area and the teachers/staff are kind and compassionate. The small class sizes by design instill a sense of belonging and accelerate learning so that no student is ever left behind.

The staff and families that attend this school are amazing. My children greatly appreciate and love all of their teachers. On top of all this, my children have excelled in their learning since being at this school. Not only are there rigorous educational practices at AHA, but there is a good amount of fine arts programs which help my children to become more creative altogether. Overall, I am very happy about the choice my husband and I made to put our children in this school. There is a warm friendly atmosphere here. I like the values being taught here as well: Faith, Patriotism and Leadership

My favorite thing about American Heritage is the atmosphere! It is a place where we can teach and practice Christian principles and it radiates from the students and staff alike. I appreciate the increased level of respect that is demanded and given. These things enable this school to be a true place of higher learning!
