[1] The sister school on the Palm Beach campus was originally founded in 1993 as All-Star Academy by Bob Stone, before it was sold due to financial problems and bought by Laurie in 1997.

[7] Facilities include investigative science labs headed by Ph.D. research scientists, engineering and robotics labs, media centers, a mock courtroom, outdoor environmental classrooms with a certified wildlife habitat, an arts center, a 25-yard short course pool, sports fields, and courtyards.

[9] In March 2019, American Heritage opened the Science Research, Engineering, and Robotics building on the Palm Beach Campus.

[14] American Heritage also offers five other pre-professional programs which include business and entrepreneurship, pre-law, pre-engineering, biomedical engineering and computer science.

[20] As of 2018, Heritage's Patriots football team has won three out of its last five state championship titles and ended the undefeated 2017 season with a 27-game winning streak.

[25] The 2018 Patriots included two cornerbacks rated five stars by 247Sports.com, Patrick Surtain II and Tyson Campbell, both selected in the 2021 NFL draft.

[27] American Heritage also has athletics programs for bowling, baseball, cheerleading, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, weightlifting, and wrestling.

[7][28] In late 2018, the school faced criticism for expelling a student at the Plantation campus for allegedly verbally attacking a basketball coach.

An attorney for the family of the expelled student claimed the expulsion and the incident that led to it were partly the result of either racial or socioeconomic discrimination by school staff.
