Our Mission
AHEF is a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization dedicated to the understanding and teaching of America's factual and philosophical heritage to promote constructive citizenship and Freedom, Unity, Progress, and Responsibility among our students and citizens.

Our Mission and Purpose

America's Heritage: An Adventure in Liberty - Resource Update
 
America's Heritage: An Adventure in Liberty
is a K-12 educational resource ($150.00 value) offeredby AHEF FREE in CD format to all teachers for educational purposes!  The CD is readable by PC/Mac.

America's Heritage has been tested and shown to improve students' performance in history and social studies.  It requires no teacher training.

AHEF has distributed over
97,000 copies of America's Heritage to teachers in all 50 states and beyond.  Resource use continues to increase--a national leader! For more information see K-12 Lessons and Partnerships.

AHEF and teachers have impacted over

NOTICES:

Tribute of Honor to Andrew (Andy) Delaney, 1920-2007.
America is a stronger, better place due to the many worthwhile, patriotic contributions of Andrew Delaney.  Delaney was active in the community and a generous supporter of AHEF.  Thank you for all you've done for AHEF and the nation!

E Pluribus Unum: The Bradley Project on America's National Identity - The Problem: "America is facing an identity crisis. The next generation of Americans will know less than their parents know about our history and founding ideals. And many Americans are more aware of what divides us than of what unites us. We are in danger of becoming not 'from many, one--E Pluribus Unum--but its opposite, 'from one, many.'"

"America is enriched by diversity. It is preserved by unity.  Today, the opposite idea seems to be taking hold--every group is encouraged to retain its separate identity...and too often, students...are taught more about America's failings than its successes."  "Historical ignorance, civic neglect and social fragmentation might achieve what a foreign invader could not."
