I can't say enough good things about this school! They have the best teachers and staff and I have…read morenoticed the quality of learning the children receive while enrolled in this school. We were greatly blessed moving into a neighborhood close to this school and by the grace of God our children got in at the right time. Before each school year starts, each teacher reaches out to the parents and makes house calls - a visit to the child's home to meet the parents in person, give them the curriculum, expectations, and guidelines the children are supposed to have so the parents and children know the teacher's expectation throughout the school year. The teachers also give parents their contact info so the parents can easily connect with the teacher at anytime. I mean, what school can you say, that teachers come to your house and makes a personal visit to connect with the family directly? I do not know of any except this school. In addition, this school only has one class per grade - one class of kinder, one class of first grade, etc. The ratio of teacher to children is around 20 to 1. They keep the size of class small so they can keep the class intimate. They also have a therapist on staff for students' mental and emotional health! They keep the students actively reading all year long by having "battle of the books" per grade and have awesome incentives. Julie, the principal, is a "go-getter" and treats all of her students like they are her own. You can feel the love of JHCS staff for each student, and each student is known by their name. It truly is a second family. Besides all of the great things I already mentioned, JHCS is ranked #1 Best Public Elementary Schools in the area and has a grade of "A" in overall niche grade!

Growing up in southern California, I loved the diversity around me, and felt that the many different life experiences and perspectives were helpful for me. We have found that American Heritage teachers are very intentional about providing opportunities to the students to experience diverse life experiences and beliefs, while maintaining faithfulness to LDS perspectives.

It has been great to see the heroes my three children learn about in the classroom. Heroes that look like them, Black African Americans. In addition the yearly Black History Month assemblies that my family has been able to take part in several times is a favorite for us. So grateful to know my children are surrounded by people that love them, SEE them and go out of their way to make them feel welcome and valued. Thank you beyond words American Heritage School. Keep it going!

My child only attended this school for Kindergarten, but we had gone to a local school before being…read moreaccepted from the wait list, and we've since moved and experienced other schools. I feel our review can still hold true, even with that limited scope. This school was wonderful. It's a treasure. My child was safe there. His KINDERGARTEN teacher had a MASTER'S degree. I find that incredible! Each teacher also has a classroom helper/teacher every day, so when a substitute is needed, it's someone already familiar with students and the material. I love that parents are in the classroom and teachers feel free to ask for help. I think teachers should be supported like that. Overall, I felt the parents were kept informed, the school had high standards, and such kind children.
