Homeschool Curriculum

American Heritage School provides a rich packet of curriculum and consumable student materials, along with online audio and visual resources to help children and parents complete those activities and learn together. The home is the classroom and parents serve as the primary teachers. Although American Heritage School is an accredited institution, homeschool curriculum does not include credit and transcripts, which are not necessary for educational advancement in grades K-6.
