Tuition & financial aid

Seating status will not be granted until the March installment has been received by the school. If not received by March 1, accepted students run the risk of being placed on a waiting list.

• Monthly Installments—patrons will make twelve monthly installment payments from March 2025 through February 2026, each installment due by the 5th of each month.
• Late Enrollment—students enrolling after the month of March will have an alternate payment schedule. If the late enrollment occurs after the start of the school year, tuition amounts will also be adjusted so that tuition paid is commensurate with the number of days attended.

ACH—School patrons are set up to do an automatic debit from their checking account on the 5th of each month. Bank account information is submitted at the time of enrollment. For questions, please contact Ali Walters at ahsaftuition@ahsmail.com.

American Heritage School is a qualified provider for the Utah Fits All Scholarship (UFAS). Please note that the UFAS ($8,000 per student) does not cover the entirety of the tuition obligation, so families should be prepared to pay the tuition balance. All families, including UFA applicants and awardees, begin making monthly tuition payments in March before the school year starts. When the school receives your UFA payment, a refund of any overpayment will be made.

Yes. An account holder can distribute up to $10,000 per year for K-12 tuition expenses Tax-Free from a 529 Plan. American Heritage Salt Lake City is a qualifying institution. Please consult a tax advisor for more specific questions.

A non-refundable application fee is required to be paid with all applications. Application fees include initial assessment fees (see “Evaluation & Expectations” for more details):

• Kindergarten Student: $50
• 1st–12th Grade Student: $75
• International Student: $110

Tuition covers virtually all of the basic, curricular experience a student has at American Heritage School. Additional expenses may include, but are not limited to, uniforms, experiential learning courses, and available various extra-curricular activities that your child may elect to pursue. Extra-curricular offerings include after-school athletics and music programs. Extra-curricular programs often do have a participation fee associated with them that is designed to cover the costs of offering the program.

International tuition is due in full by June 1, or upon enrollment if a student is offered a seat after that date. Please be aware that a student’s seat will not be confirmed until the full balance is paid. If payment is not received by the June 1 deadline, accepted international students may be placed on a waiting list.

If choosing to wire funds, please contact the Admissions Office for instructions.

The first 25% of annual tuition collected through installment payments is designated as earnest money and is non-refundable once drawn.

Any tuition payments collected beyond that initial 25% are refundable on a prorated basis if a patron withdraws during the academic year. Refund eligibility is determined based on the portion of the academic cycle that has not yet transpired at the time of withdrawal.

Example:

If a patron withdraws after 20% of the academic cycle has transpired, and 70% of the annual tuition has already been collected through monthly ACH payments:

• the first 25% collected is retained as non-refundable earnest money;
• 20% is retained for the portion of the academic cycle already completed; and
• the remaining 25% is refunded as prepaid tuition attributable to the unused portion of the academic year.
