Teaching Methodology
Effective education reaches the heart and mind of each student.
The principles, methodologies, and curriculum of American Heritage School are consistent with best practices in education that lead to transformational scholarship. These best practices include: Critical Thinking, Citizenship, Global Competence, Creativity, and Collaboration.
Long admired for its unique and enriching curriculum, American Heritage is dedicated to the health and happiness of every student. Our mission? To give children and teens an essential knowledge of the world around them, as well as a clear understanding of their Heavenly Father and his role in their lives.
Who can apply to attend AHS?
All students are welcome to apply. American Heritage welcomes members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as those in our community who seek the same LDS family values. All enrolled students are expected to adhere to the school’s standards and ideals of Christian civility and kindness. American Heritage School’s curriculum and Honor Code create a learning atmosphere consistent with the values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. American Heritage School does not discriminate against any employee, student, employee applicant, or student applicant because of race, creed, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical and/or mental disability.
Application Process
Interested families should review the school’s admission process, which begins by making a formal inquiry online. Instructions are emailed to you automatically when you make a formal inquiry. Interviews and new-student assessments will begin in January 2021.
Tuition
American Heritage School is more affordable than most private schools in Utah (privateschoolreview.com). An American Heritage education is available to most every family, thanks to our many generous donors.
American Heritage tuition is based on a 12-month payment plan as illustrated in the graph below. Payment amount will vary depending on month of enrollment.
Scholarships
Significant need-based scholarships and financial aid will be available to ensure access for mission-aligned families from a range of socio-economic backgrounds. Information about how to apply for scholarships and financial aid will be announced in December 2021.
Location
The new campus is located at 142 West 200 North in a decommissioned church meetinghouse. It is within walking distance of Historic Temple Square and is easily accessible by way of mass transit.
The school has leased the property from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is currently undergoing major renovations. It will open its doors for its inaugural 2022-2023 academic school year on August 30th.
Due to these unique, first-year circumstances, we are unable to offer school tours at this time. We invite you to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for regular updates on the construction. Please also view our virtual tour and artistic renderings by following the link below.

My children love this school! I have an 11th grade boy and a 9th grade girl. They were in public school until the 8th and 10th grade. I was not happy with what was being taught in the public school, so I pulled them out. They thank me still, for putting them in this school, and considering their age that speaks volumes to me. I love this school.

Three of my four children have spent time in this school, and all of them have loved it. They still teach cursive and the classics and traditional math (!) with actual text books that you don’t have to read a thousand times and finally discover they aren’t trying to tell you how to do it, but how to figure it out- and you may never know if you actually figured it out. (Can you tell I’ve had it with the “new” math programs that have infiltrated our educational system?) Even if you can only afford a year here and there, as with 2 of my kids, that year can make a HUGE difference in their lives! The school is so much more than good methodology. They teach with power and with discernment and with the Spirit of the Lord. If you want a very clear cut and pure (as pure as humans can attain) educational experience that is traditional and thorough and teaches the kids to reach a little higher, this is the right choice for you.

I have two children attending, and soon a third. It far surpasses my expectations on- what is and how it is taught, is amazing. There is a safety and love felt in the halls of this school that can’t be described.

American Heritage School is an organization that lives and breathes their Mission Statement. From the Chairman of the Board to the smallest Kindergarten student, all are expected (and do) live by that document! If you get the chance, stop in for a tour or attend an event. You will leave a better person than you were before after doing so!
