Mission
American Heritage Schools and The American Academy offer a curriculum that will enhance and develop students’ strengths and passions to ultimately allow them to reach higher academic goals.

Commitment
To achieve our mission, American Heritage Schools offers a robust curriculum with the students’ best interests at heart. Our curriculum is written by our curriculum development team of teachers, curriculum directors, and administrators. The process of writing the curriculum is thoroughly planned and executed through cross-campus collaborative workshops. This ensures that all students, regardless of background, ability, or interests, are represented in a curriculum that not only addresses but also transcends content standards. At the same time, our curriculum is standardized and documented to make its implementation in the classroom connected and cohesive yet flexible enough to allow for differentiation. Through ongoing discussion and review, American Heritage Schools dynamic curriculum takes into account research-based instructional goals and our students’ needs.
