Have you seen the new campus? It's amazing! I cannot believe they have actually turned it into a…read moreschool, I wish I could go here myself! The focus they put on leadership and self-governing is something I wish I had learned growing up. My brother struggled in regular school to the point we weren't sure if he could keep up here. However within the school year he was actually excelling, not because the school is easy, but because he had a true support system. His teacher would work one on one with him and gave him extra assignments that would help him get the concepts in a way he could understand and practice. It was a lot of work for my brother, but to finally be on A honor roll was priceless! I knew I wouldn't want my daughter to go anywhere else after seeing my brothers transformation. They focus on true principles and helping the students learn for themselves and enjoy the process. We love this school and feel so lucky to have found them! We also love the new campus!

It is amazing to see how far this school has come. I feel that the skills I learned from attending this school from 2nd grade through middle school have carried with me until this day. My reading and writing skills are strong and this school truly prepared me for college. As an adult now, I read quite often for fun. This academy truly focuses on a classical education, which is not a focus in public schools today. Scholars learn cursive and multiplication/division starting in second grade. These skills stay with them for the remainder of their schooling. This academy does a nice job focusing on building the skills they've learned brick by brick each school year. Now as an adult, I hope to send my own children here one day so that they can experience the same type of educational experience I had in my childhood. American Heritage Academy has a warm, friendly feeling the moment you walk in. Scholars are beyond excited to come in each day and see their classmates and teachers. It is a school that is rigorous, but students look forward to coming each day because of the special, nurturing environment this school provides. It is a very family friendly school, and you can be as involved as you wish to be in your child's education.

The blended learning environment is absolutely great. The fact you can work from home and go into an actually office to get help from teachers and tutors is awesome. The counselors are amazing and they helped me with financial aid info and my road to college. There's school here in Vegas but none with good education. Beacon has that and I recommend to all students credit deficient and other wise in their alternative education requirements.

The parking lot is HUGE, yet there weren't enough spaces for all the guests, and many of us (me included) parked on the street. Visitors-side seating was modern, very comfortable with back support, and offered a clear, unobstructed view of the action on the football field. Home-side seating was awesome for a high school, as each seat offered armrests and was comfortable. The seat quality was comparable to what you would find at professional sports venues. The electronic message boards and scoreboard were large, and the bar offered good, affordable food and beverages. Stadium staff, student volunteers, and security were readily available and very friendly and helpful. This was a fun experience and a chance to watch the #8-ranked high school football team in the nation dominate their opponent.

I've had a great experience with all of their teachers and the principal/founder is very down to earth. My kids get sad when summer time rolls around because there is no school.

And we also don't have to put up with CCSD and their oversized classes, lack of discipline for unruly students, lack of communication from teachers, and the curriculum which just teaches to prepare students for a standardized test.

ATA is short for Advanced Technologies Academy! I began my Substitute Teaching career (let's be truthful, this is NO career, it's a "simply in the meantime" kinda gig) three years ago at the request of my highly educated, teacher of a mother after many-a-job hunts came up as dry as the desert we reside. My very first day on the job was subbing for my mom's class (she teaches World History AP @ ATA), and I was flabbergasted by these children. WHAT CHARACTER........SUCH A DESIRE TO LEARN!!! I thought to myself, "Oh heak yeah, this is what teaching is all about!" It was such a good day, and it inspired me to take more jobs at other schools! =) That SMILE could only last so long....... I was quickly disturbed by the utter lack of moral, ethical, & educational responsibility students at other Middle and High Schools had. DISTURBING!!! These children at other schools feel entitled to everything. "You owe me this!" and "I deserve a better grade!"...........where I come from, that S**T doesn't fly! YOU EARN IT, plain and simple! They think that a money tree will blossom in their yard one day and that learning is a futile concept (we all know that they didn't use the word FUTILE though!), but you get the idea. It's a ridiculous notion and it makes me both sad and scared for the future of these children. Now, this is not to say that ALL other schools are bad and that teachers and students don't care.....that's simply not true. It's just that ATA is like this hidden gem of a high school and at the end of the day, if I haven't spent my time subbing there, something just doesn't feel right. I want people to know about this institution and I want them to understand the depth of GREATNESS that this school embodies! ATA's mission statement reads: The mission of Advanced Technologies Academy (A-TECH) is to empower a diverse student body by teaching academic concepts and technological skills and by instilling in students the importance of effective, responsible application of their knowledge to succeed in a highly competitive, technologically changing world. Yeah, yeah, YEAH......you're probably thinking, "Lots of places attach a "Mission Statement" to their building or website, but how many actually ad hear to it?" THIS PLACE DOES! There are core values at this school that drive the student and teachers alike to better themselves and the people around them. Hell, these people INSPIRE ME! There's a genuine LOVE of LEARNING in this building and a desire to go off and take on the world. These kids have the moral fortitude to do what's right and at the end of the day, they understand the GIFT OF FREE EDUCATION THAT THEY ARE RECEIVING! (sigh) Let me continue this tangent a moment longer..... ~These children are producing the HIGHEST Advanced Placement scores in the state! They are receiving full ride scholarships to IVY freakn' LEAGUE COLLEGES!!! ~They are ambassadors for business and travel the world on school holidays! ~They are National Merit Scholars! =) This year I will watch my FIRST group of students walk across the stage as they receive their diplomas..........and I feel like the proudest mother ever! Well, maybe not mother because I'm only ten years older than this group, but definitely a proud sister! =) To me, this is the ideal high school situation........ ~Small class sizes (16 to 26 ppl) ~High achieving students ~Teachers that LOVE their job ~And opportunity to become something GREAT in an environment that wants exactly that for you! I don't know much, but I do know this, and I make sure to remind my students: YOU ARE GIVEN ONE OPPORTUNITY AT A FREE EDUCATION AND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO RETAIN AS MUCH OF THAT AS YOU CAN!

I am a student at Advanced Technology Academy and I really want to see our school succeed. However,…read moreI'm writing this because the quality of the cafeteria lunches has been a major concern lately. Specifically, the ham and cheese sandwiches are often served completely frozen solid in the middle. It's very difficult for students to eat a meal that is still an ice block, and it's disappointing to go through the afternoon hungry because the lunch provided wasn't ready to eat. We would really appreciate it if the staff could ensure all meals are properly thawed and prepared before they are handed out. We just want healthy, edible options so we can stay focused in class!"

It's not a religious school, for some weird reason some classes get recorded when they're doing the pledge (again, I don't know why or surpiringsly how.) And every day they have teacher awards. The MPR is really big, I think it's about 10-11 inches and normal MPRs I think are like 8-9 inches, final thing they have 2 playgrounds one is really small (Recess Playground) and a huge playground that reaches 20 inches (I think, that we play at Lunch Recess) There are a few good teachers, but I didn't like Ms. Gardner a first grade teacher if she still works here, she was a teenager but now I suspect she is a young adult but so yeah, it's a great school!
