Parent wants to ensure that student/camper be furnished with health care services as soon as reasonably possible after the need arises when at School/Camp and when participating in School/Camp-related activities on or off campus (such as field trips and/or athletics). If Parent’s student/camper is injured at School/Camp, a School/Camp-related activity or trip, or otherwise has an urgent need for health care and a licensed health care practitioner requires parental consent when Parent cannot immediately be reached, Parent hereby authorizes, appoints, consents to, and empowers the School/Camp to act as parent and furnish such consent on Parent’s behalf.

Parent hereby further consents to all School/Camp personnel (including, without limitation, athletic personnel, athletic trainers, administrators, teachers, directors, counselors, nurses and other clinic personnel, and bus drivers), volunteers, and chaperones to render aid, supply health care services, call 911, and respond in any emergency as needed for student/camper. Parent’s consent extends to, without limitation, the administration of allergy medications, Epi-Pens, over-the-counter medications, etc. according to the student/camper’s prescription or instructions from a licensed practitioner, provision of first aid or minor medical care, use of AED and CPR, and health screenings. Parent also consents to the School/Camp’s academic advisors, college counselors, or counselor to meet with student/camper for appropriate purposes.

You understand and acknowledge that the School/Camp may unilaterally dismiss or suspend student/camper or deny student/camper’s participation in any activity, should it determine that the conduct or behavior of the student/camper, parent/guardian, or other family member is deemed unsatisfactory and/or not in the best interest of School/ Camp. NO REFUND will be issued in the event of such dismissal.

There will be no summer programs in person or online held on Friday July 4, 2025, additionally we do not prorate/adjust the pricing for  the week of 4th of July. 

The School/Camp continually strives to update the accuracy of all written materials, including, but not limited to, promotional information, website, brochures, and advertising related to the Summer Program. In an effort to do so, however, information included in the materials may change as programs grow and as staff increases. Prior to relying on any written materials in making your decision to enroll your child in a Summer Program, please verify the accuracy of information with the School/Camp.

You agree that any action, claim or counterclaim, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement shall be submitted to mediation in Broward County, Florida prior to any litigation between the parties, with the costs of mediation to be split equally between the parties. Any request for mediation shall be made in writing. If the request for mediation is not responded to within thirty (30) days or if the parties are unable to resolve their dispute in mediation, the parties may proceed to litigation, as stated herein.

Governing Law/Waiver of Jury Trial. This Contract shall be governed under the laws of the State of Florida. In any action, claim, or counterclaim, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity, arising out of or in any way related to this Contract, the parties hereto consent to personal jurisdiction in Florida and agree that venue shall lie exclusively in Broward County, Florida. I/We (acting on my/our behalf and on behalf of and in the best interests of my/our child(ren)) and the School agrees to waive their rights and I/we agree to waive my/our child(ren)’s rights to a trial by jury over any dispute arising out of or related to any aspect of my/our or my/our child(ren)’s relationship with the School or participation in any of its programs, including but not limited to claims relating to the terms and provisions of this Contract; child(ren)’s enrollment in the School; child(ren)’s attendance, participation in activities, discipline or any actions by the School, its representatives, or other parties (including other students or parents); and the relationship created by this Contract or the termination of the relationship (whether such claim arises under agreement, statute, regulation, local law, or common law).

The School/Camp’s duties and obligations shall be suspended immediately without notice during all periods that the School and/or Camp ceases operations because of force majeure events including, but not limited to, any fire, act of God, hurricane, tornado, flood, extreme inclement weather, explosion war, governmental action, act of terrorism, risk of infectious disease, epidemic, pandemic, shortage or disruption of necessary utilities (water, electricity, etc.), or any other event beyond the School’s or Camp’s control. If such an event occurs, the School/Camp’s duties and obligations will be postponed until such time as the School/Camp, in its sole discretion, may safely resume operations. Parent understands that Parent’s financial obligations under this Agreement remain in full force and effect. In the event that the School/Camp cannot resume operations due to an event under this clause, the School/Camp is under no obligation to refund any portion of the tuition paid.

No action or failure to act by the School, Camp, or any agent, employee, independent contractor or other contractor of School and/or Camp shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded the School and/or Camp under this Agreement, nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute approval of or acquiescence in any breach thereunder, except as specifically may be agreed to in writing.

If any term or provision hereof, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application thereof to persons or circumstances other than those against whom or which such term or provision is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permissible by law.

The School/Camp reserves the right to require additional documentation outside of this platform to complete the registration. As to the School/Camp, the only persons authorized to modify these Terms and Conditions are the President, Vice President or the Chief Financial Officer of the School/Camp. This Agreement supersedes any prior oral or written agreements on the same or similar matters. Any current or prior understanding, statement, representation, promise, or agreement, oral or written, including without limitation, renderings or representations contained in brochures, advertisements, or promotional materials, and oral statements of School and/or Camp employees or representatives not specifically expressed and included in this Agreement are void and shall not be binding upon or enforceable against either party. This is a fully integrated agreement. You acknowledge that you have not relied upon such statements, promises, or representations, if any, and waive any rights or claims arising from such statements, promises or representations.

You hereby consent and hold the School/Camp harmless for the release of student's/camper’s records and information upon your request to an educational institution or as required by a governmental agency. You also release and hold the School/Camp harmless from any liability stemming from such use, disclosure or release of student’s/camper’s records or information.

You agree to clearly notify the School/Camp in writing if there is anyone who is NOT allowed to pick up your student(s)/camper(s) pursuant to a court order.

Both parents/guardians must sign this Agreement, unless the School/Camp, in its discretion, permits enrollment with one parent/guardian signature. If only one parent/guardian signs this Agreement, such parent/guardian must have the authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the student/camper and the consent of all other parents/guardians to do so. The submission of the Agreement with the signature of a single parent/guardian constitutes the representation of the signing parent/guardian that he/she has the necessary authority and consent to sign on behalf of the other parents/guardians. A parent/guardian who signs on behalf of other parents/guardians confirms he/she has authority and consent. Signing without authority and consent constitutes fraud.

Summer Education (In-Person or Online)Programs

When enrolling your student in a 2025 Summer Education (In-Person or Online) Program provided by the School, you agree and are aware that a final determination of class placement will be made by the School and that curriculum changes/decisions are made at the School’s discretion.

The School does not make any representation regarding whether credits from the summer education program will be accepted by the student's educational institution.You understand that once a student is enrolled and the cancellation date (as set forth in the Refund Policy below) has passed, there will be absolutely no refund or reduction of tuition for any circumstance, including not limited to, voluntary or involuntary absence, change of residence, health, withdrawal or expulsion. You understand that even if a new student(s) is/are accepted at the School after student’s withdrawal or separation, any such student(s) will not be considered a “replacement student” unless the student(s) being admitted is/are taken off a waiting list for the summer education program in which student was enrolled.

You agree to allow the School, and those acting with the School’s permission, to record student’s name, photograph, voice, image, and information in online learning or other video processes, and to record and use student’s name, photograph, voice, image and information in the School's publications, promotional or other campaign materials (whether print, television, newspaper, internet, social media, or in any other medium), and website, for educational and/or disciplinary purposes without compensation and without prior notice. You release and hold the School harmless from any liability stemming from the use and disclosure of the student's name, photograph, voice, image, or information. Such liability includes, without limitation, any and all claims of libel, slander, defamation, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use of one's likeness or picture. You grant permission to the School to unconditionally use statements, articles, music, art, photographs, audio recordings, films, videos, classwork, and all other work created by students or originating from the School or from School-related activity, without compensation and without prior notice. Such authorization survives the term of this Agreement and serves as authority to use such material both during and after a student is enrolled at the School.

You agree that you will be responsible for any loss, damage, or destruction by your student to any property of the School or to any property for which the School is liable or chargeable.

 

For American Heritage Students, Grades 9 - 12:

I understand that grade forgiveness will be allowed for up to four (4) semesters (2 credits) during high school (grades 9-12). Students may repeat a course taken in grades 9-12 for forgiveness if a grade of “D” or “F” is earned in a course. A course is forgiven only if the student receives a grade of “C” or higher on a subsequent attempt. A required course may be forgiven by the same or a comparable course taken subsequently. A lower level of the same course is considered comparable because the benchmarks and/or course objectives are similar. In all cases where courses are forgiven under the provisions above, the initial “D” or “F” grade(s) will remain as part of the academic history (on the student transcript). Students should be advised that many based on all courses attempted. 

The linked document is a list of courses offered during the summer and the rules of which can be taken for credit, forgiveness or audit. Please review it carefully, and please contact your Academic/College Advisor prior to registering for classes for recommendations and to make any necessary adjustments to your schedule for the fall.
