American Heritage Academy is a principle based Christian private school in Las Vegas serving families from North Las Vegas to Henderson. American Heritage Academy began as a small home school group that has grown into a robust private school that accepts students from pre-kindergarten to high school. Our approach at American Heritage Academy leads to academic excellence as students take personal responsibility for their education. We foster: exceptional character and personality development, a safe, disciplined environment, a love for learning, smaller class sizes, greater teacher and students interaction and an interest in higher education, and a life pursuit of learning. Scholars are accepted without regard to race, religion, gender or national origin.
