This school is amazing! I am so glad that we chose this school over other private school choices for our daughter. Last year I was trying to decide which school to send her to and I worried about it a lot. I am so happy with my decision. She comes home and surprises us with everything she is learning.

We have loved having our kids at American Heritage! We love the atmosphere and have had nothing but positive experiences with the admisitration and teachers. Our kids excel in school and love to learn, in large part because of what they are learning at school and because of the great environment. In comparing American Heritage to other faith-based schools, it is clearly the best!

We have been happy with the education at atmosphere at American Heritage. Our children have been taught by wonderful teachers who care about them and challenge them to reach their full potential. We have felt that the administration is aware of our students, as well as all others, and makes decisions and implements ideas based on the needs of each student. Our children have thrived in their core classes and really enjoyed participating in the extra-curricular classes and activities. We are proud to have our children attend a school that promotes good values and strong education. We are extra pleased after just receiving our students' end of year test scores.

We have been a part of AHSJ for 6 years and my daughter has done well. The smaller classrooms and involved teachers have helped her to excel. I love that the school has Christian-based values and holds students to the highest standards. The school is small compared to other private schools that we looked at but the small size helps build the bond between the students.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************We have loved having our child at American Heritage South Jordan. We have loved the value system taught in the school. Their code of conduct is amazing for all. The material so far has been above average and fun to learn. Our child loves the structure and the fun activities offered at this school. We had issues with our first teacher and the admisitration was great to listen and investigate the situation and took care of our concerns. Any concern we have had with teachers have been quickly addressed and resolved well. They have been good to listen to my concerns as a mother and help me in anyway possible. This experience has changed our childs life for the best.. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

We love AHSJ! We have three children that attend American Heriatge. We've noticed improvements in reading, math, and handwritting. The teachers love the students and love teaching. The adminstration is quick to address any concerns or answer any questions. We love that our children also learn values and morals. This is a school that is concerned with acadmics and character, to form a well rounded student.

I love this school. They truly try to give students a chance to excel. There are a couple students who were not doing well in the public school system and came here and developed into a whole new person. They became someone important. If someone truly dislikes this school, leave. The public school probably failed you and that is why you came to this school. Looking for someone to solve your childs problem. Sorry about your two failures. Good luck finding a place you speak positively about. My children have been in this school for years. There are people who leave and come back because the public school system was teaching their children things they learned at American Heritage two years earlier. Many of my friends envy my children being able to be in this school. I feel fortunate and it is worth the sacrifices we have to make to get the best for our children. Thank you American Heritage.

As a student who went here for three years, I have some things to say about the school. It was a great place to learn. I have created friendships with teachers that continue even years after leaving. On the other hand, there is not much pressure for the students to do well. This could change, but given what new teachers have been added, I don't see them being chosen often. From the social aspect, it was horrible. I went there from 6-8 grades, and I always felt like it was a battlefield. And even when there were issues, the administration was very unsupportive. There was a brief incident with students using drugs, and they picked and chose which students to expel. Overall, I would recommend your elementary schoolers go to this school, where the social scene is mellow. But for the middle and high schoolers, consider another option.
Amazing school, staff, students and program. I'm pleased with the education and experiences my children are gaining.

My son attends this school and the teachers are wonderful. My hope is that I can send all my children at some point. We love this school.

AHH, this is sad. The school is just wonderful. The office staff are very helpful and kind. The teachers love the children and my children are very happy. I feel so blessed to avoid the Middle School years in the public school system. What a great alternative. It is worth the sacrifice. If you are not happy just quietly go back to the public school system. And, at this point I fear for them too. The public schools have some positive things happening and some wonderful teachers. Unfortunately, the public school system shuffles around bad teachers. It is nice to have a school who wants the best and tries to find the best.

This is a great school! My kids love this school and learn something new everyday. They feel safe and accepted at school, which helps them to to grow and find success. They are challenged by their teachers and have many opportunities for extra activities and classes. Our kids have always done well in school but now they love going and are sad when the weekend comes. This says a lot for the school and administration. We also love the school's honor code and uniform policy.

I have to disagree with the previous comment. I'm sure with any organization, it is difficult to keep a large building clean after hundreds of children but I've seen two janitors cleaning on a regular basis. The school has a great feeling about it and the teachers and administration have a love for the children and a passion for education. My child has found success this year and loves going to school each day--that says a lot.
