Is good because it is

American Heritage has decent academics. However, I strongly urge parents not to send their children to this school. Our son spent the majority of his high-school career there until it was no longer convenient for the school. It features a “vibrant” Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) office that makes it a point to coerce the speech, actions, and thoughts of students. They are willing to go to great extent to punish those who waiver from a certain ideology. Make sure to understand the student handbook in-depth. For instance, page 43 describes a policy that forbids students from discussing personal views on social & political topics without a teacher present. A violation of such rules may lead to a forced psychological examination, suspension, or even expulsion. If you have prepaid tuition it’s lost and if you didn’t prepay the school will seek payment (read the contract). Your child’s college applications and bright future scholarship may also be at risk in the name of DEI. Advise I would have for the school would be to lose its DEI approach and promote Free Speech within its institution. Free Speech is a core part of our American Heritage and the best way for young adults to mature and evolve their thoughts. Also, our son was forced to drop out by the administration during the most critical time in his educational career, as he was applying to colleges. That simply should not happen at a school that professes to be college and student focused.
