American Heritage School is accredited by Cognia.
Accreditation affords AHS all the benefits of accreditation provided to public and private schools recognized by the Utah State Office of Education. It also joins AHS to a national, collegial community of high quality independent schools, teachers, and administrators who network, collaborate, and share best practices.
One of the most significant benefits of accreditation is school wide engagement in a recurring “self study” process, by which the school reflects on its best practices and areas needing improvement, and then harnesses broad participation of the school community in the examination of strengths and weaknesses. The self study is an important vehicle for ongoing self-improvement and is one assurance that American Heritage School is advancing through a reflective, mission-driven process and is continually assessing itself on robust standards for success. The self study results in many practical improvements and demonstrates the school’s commitment to ongoing progress.
American Heritage School is also approved by the College Board for Advanced Placement® (AP) Testing, as well as ACT testing. The CEEB code assigned by the College Board is 754413.
American Heritage School has met the criteria for educational quality established by the Cognia Global Commission and has received a Certificate of Accreditation by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement, the Northwest Accreditation Commission, and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement.
If you have questions related to accreditation or would like to participate in our self study process, please contact our Head of School, Mr. Grant Beckwith, at gbeckwith@ahsmail.com or at 801-642-0055.
