American Heritage School - Plantation

American Heritage School is an independent, nonsectarian, and co-educational day school for grades Pre-K through 12 with approximately 2,400 students. The high school, grades 9 through 12, has a student population of 1200 students. The school was founded in 1965 to serve the fast-developing residential communities west of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The college preparatory curriculum at American Heritage serves students of bright average to gifted intelligence and aims to develop critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, and lifelong learning. We believe that our students should develop aspects of themselves in addition to academics.There are over 60 student clubs and organizations, and multiple service opportunities on and off campus. Our library is a 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art structure housing 9 interactive classrooms, 300 computers, and 60,000 volumes of books and reference materials. Other highlights of our campus include: two multi media production studios, three science labs, a 12,000 sq ft gymnasium, five athletic fields, and a 2000 sq ft weightlifting and conditioning center. American Heritage offers financial aid, scholarships, and faculty tuition benefits to approximately 21% of the student body for tuition expenses.
