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.
In Independent Study courses, scholars access American Heritage School’s online curriculum and work through pre-recorded lectures, quizzes, and assignments at their own pace. Students receive feedback on teacher-graded and computer-graded assignments. A printed version of the curriculum is available for a nominal fee. This course format results in credit for an accredited transcript that can be transferred to other schools or submitted to institutions of higher education.
