- The Authorization to Release Educational Records must be signed and submitted to each of the student's previous schools. Teacher recommendation forms must be requested from each of the student's current teachers. (These forms should be given directly to the student's teacher(s), and the teacher(s) must send the forms directly to AMERICAN HERITAGE ACADEMY.) Recommendation forms delivered by parents will not be accepted as part of the application. School transcripts, report cards, and academic portfolio information are required and must be received for review by the AMERICAN HERITAGE ACADEMY Admissions Committee prior to admission.

- AMERICAN HERITAGE ACADEMY uses age as of September 1 of the enrollment year as one guideline for determining placement in PreK-3, PreK-4, and Kindergarten. Children enrolling in the Prekindergarten programs also must be completely toilet trained. All other admission requirements must be met. Special consideration may be given to the admission of underage children pending enrollment eligibility with the understanding that AMERICAN HERITAGE ACADEMY reserves the right to determine placement and/or retention of the underage child in grade the following year.
- Admission decisions are determined by the Admissions Committee's evaluation. The Committee's decisions are final.
- Notifications by the Admissions Committee will be mailed. In order to assure that a place is reserved for 2009-2010, parents or guardians will have fourteen (14) days from the notification date to complete the enrollment process. Parents or guardians will contact the Business Office to arrange an appointment to complete the Enrollment and Financial Agreement. If the enrollment process is not completed within the fourteen-day period, the $250 tuition deposit will be deemed non-refundable.
- The tuition deposit is returned if the child is not accepted for enrollment by AHA or if the parent rejects the acceptance and notifies the school in writing within the fourteen-day period following notification of acceptance.
- Parents may also notify the school in writing within the fourteen-day period following notification of acceptance that they would like the tuition deposit to be held for future year enrollment. Tuition deposits that are held for more than one year beyond the enrollment year indicated on the initial application will be deemed non-refundable. For example, if the enrollment year on the initial application year is 2008-2009 and the student is not enrolled by the 2009-2010 school year, the tuition deposit becomes non-refundable.
