To see such great acceptances, so many students getting into the top universities in the country. It is amazing, really amazing in a difficult year for graduating students. I am so proud of the American Heritage School's class of 2023,” said Marc Shaw, Executive Director of Admissions.

"American Heritage has played a major role in my early acceptance to Princeton University by providing a great educational environment unlike any other high school. The Pre-Engineering Program allowed me to learn through several engineering classes, participate in internships with major engineering companies, and design and create products in the engineering and robotics lab to get real-world experience, which inspired me to choose a major in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a career at an engineering firm."

I know Stanford won’t be easy, but the combination of academic rigor and supportive community at American Heritage has prepared me to handle the intensity of university coursework and enjoy spending time with the plethora of people I’ll meet along the way. American Heritage is all about balance, and I can’t wait to bring that tradition to Stanford and beyond."  “The breadth of resources offered at American Heritage allowed me to discover my passions. I entered high school completely unaware of what I’d study in college, and four years later, I leave American Heritage knowing I want to study Statistics and pursue a career utilizing quantitative research to derive public policy solutions.
