High Tech Middle Media Arts School

My son was in the first 8th grade at HTHM and graduated from HTH International last year, a year early. He went to HTH after years in a terrific private school.. he loved the project based learning, he did a lot of reading from his own chosen texts. His teachers were aces, all of them.. they encouraged him to color outside the lines in terms of his own thinking and talents and capacities.. He is now happily ensconced at the greatest public university in the world, UC Berkeley, and though NOTa science major, in fact he is a humanities and music guy, he said he was surprised at how easy his requisite science class is for him, due to HTHI training... he says it is fairly easy for him to work independently at the college level, as he did the same thing at HTHI...

Great for average kids - unfortunately very inflexible for the bright ones.

It a wonderful place designed for the students to enjoy while they learn. Absolutely the most dedicated and caring teachers in San Diego.

Great school, caring teachers and connected to real life.

Great school. Great caring teachers who make learning fun and real for their students.

The students are respected as people and future leaders of our communities. The staff is respected and are encouraged to teach their passions rather than state mandated lesson plans. The combination facilitates students to find their own passions and become lifelong learners.

I was in the first 8th grade class to 'graduate' from HTMMA. The attitude of the teachers is fantastic, they treat the students with respect and talk to them like equals. I hated POL's, but that was because they were hard for me. I still hate them as a senior at High Tech High International. I would reccoment this school to kids who don't do well in public school. I did just fine with textbook learning, and I actually liked it better than project-based. But for kids who chafe against the limitations of the public school system, Go to Tech High. It will seriously change your life.

I have been going to HTMMA(High Tech Middle Media Arts) since 6th grade and i'm in 7th grade now, i love my school, on the week ends i shockinly want the week end to end to go back to school, not to just see my friends but also to see the coolest teachers ever! The classes are so much fun, we do such advanced projects, that when i explain them my high school cousins have no clue what i'm talking about! When i was in 6th grade last year meaning i was about 11 years old, we did a project where we learned about renewable energies, and my group built a mini hydroelectric genrator! I learned so much and had so much fun! We are treated like we are in the real world and I feel like I am prepared for the rest of my life! I love HTMMA!
