Academic excellence along with responsible citizenship and character development are points of particular emphasis at American Heritage School. The bulk of our teaching is based upon a methodology called the "Principle Approach" developed by the Foundation for American Christian Education ("FACE"), a non-profit, non-denominational organization based in Virginia that develops curriculum for Christian schools across the country. This principle-based approach provides perfect and natural opportunities for both academic and religious education in every subject and at every grade level. It also provides an excellent framework for the LDS-based principles and lesson plans that are conveyed as a part of American Heritage School's tailored curriculum and scope/sequence of instruction.

In addition to rigorous curriculum in the traditional subject areas such as mathematics, reading, science, and history, every class participates in choral music, visual arts, and annual student productions that enrich the curriculum. Also, beautifully written and directed class devotionals are performed on a regular basis, providing for each child's poise and talents to be developed. Teachers at American Heritage School take a tutorial approach to education in order to meet each child at his/her threshold of learning.
