    Press Release September 16, 2010 American Fork Utah In an effort to make the school more available to families worldwide, American Heritage School formally announced major advancements in its programs and offerings, including the pilot launch of an accredited, K-12, distance education program, a recently approved international student program, and the inaugural graduating 12th Grade class of American Heritage School’s high school program. “Growth at American Heritage School has been consistent since the school opened its doors in 1970, and we see that trend continuing,” says principal, Grant Beckwith. “American Heritage School has become a model for families and educators nationwide who are seeking an educational atmosphere in which Christ-centered curriculum places God, Family, Country, and Academic Excellence deeply in the hearts and minds of the children.” At a time when economic and social conditions continue to put pressure on families, businesses, and schools alike, American Heritage School is taking steps to make itself more available to the increasing number of families that are seeking a faith-based education model, such as the one American Heritage School provides. In connection with the school’s strategic vision to be an “effective educational resource for parents worldwide” – American Heritage School launched a new international student program in the Fall of 2009 that has grown to include nearly 30 students from countries around the world, including China, Korea, Japan, France, India, Venezuela, and Mexico. Some of those students have come to American Heritage School from the Meridian School, which, closed its doors last month. Dan Smith, the former Head of School at Meridian, provided the following statement: "It was with sadness and great concern for our students that Meridian School closed its doors this year.
