I am a current senior attending American Heritage Academy. Although I struggled throughout my lower grammar and upper grammar schooling, my high school life is where I made the most improvement with the help of some amazing teachers. This is an amazing school for those who are willing to take a challenge and strive for their goals.

American Heritage Academy offers a tight knit community in which students can connect and grow together. Teachers know each scholar by name and are often able to provide a one on one connection. Every teacher is passionate about helping the scholars with what they have available to them.

This has not been a great school year for American Heritage Academy in Henderson NV. The homework load has gone up quite a bit. Several teachers without degrees and the knowledge of said subject are teaching. It's been hard to learn the material. I worry about my child moving on to college. This year 19 teachers and staff are choosing to leave this school. Never have I seen so much heartache at a school.

Since it has been the priority of the administration to grow the school, the quality of the experience and gone down exponentially from year to year...

This is a great school a bit heavy on the home work due to only 4 days a week but great school, great students along with a healthy culture among the staff and parents. Leadership and character are traits which are highly encouraged, my daughters started at LMCA, but this is an overall better school...
