Admissions

American Heritage School supports families through a five-step admissions process:

• Learn about AHS

  American Heritage School encourages families interested in applying to the school to watch a 8-minute introductory video, review the school’s website, call the school, request a tour, visit our classrooms, and attend school community events. Families may learn about upcoming events from the school’s homepage.

• Submit Application

  Complete American Heritage School’s online application. Applicants are considered after the online application is submitted and all supporting documentation is submitted (see How to Apply) .

• Interview

  

  As completed applications are received, American Heritage School contacts each family to set up interview. The prospective student(s) and both living parents should attend the interview together whenever possible.

• Academic Evaluation

  An academic assessment helps American Heritage School learn in what ways it can support the student and family. Tests vary in length from 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the grade-level of the prospective student. All families receive personal feedback within a few weeks following this assessment. Read more about our academic evaluation and expectations.

• Receive Notification from AHS

  Within 2-4 weeks of the academic assessment, admission letters detailing each child’s admission status are mailed to applying families.

• Priority Acceptance Policy; Admission Criteria

American Heritage School adheres to this non-discrimination policy with respect to all of its policies and programs, including educational programs, employment and admission programs, scholarship and financial aid programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. In keeping with the school’s religious orientation and purpose, as well as with the school’s desire to respect the dignity and diversity of individuals, the school affords equal opportunity in employment and admission on the basis of sexual orientation, but not on the basis of conduct. All members of the school community are required to comply with the American Heritage School Honor Code, which requires chastity outside of marriage, and fidelity in marriage, as further defined in The Family, A Proclamation to the World (“The Family Proclamation”), issued by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The school affirms the centrality of doctrines in The Family Proclamation relating to human sexuality and gender, as well as the sanctity and significance of marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The school, as is permitted by accreditation standards and regulations, prefers faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in employment. American Heritage School also affirms that all people are equally beloved children of God and deserve to be treated with love and respect, and we recognize the critical importance of a safe campus environment for all students and employees.
