Hale Academy

To the parents whose children flourished AFTER they left Cornerstone- our children also flourished AFTER yours left Cornerstone as the teachers did not have to constantly deal with their behavior. I am sure they are a better fit in classes where there are only four to a class on average

Our children attended Cornerstone in the past and they flourished... AFTER they left! The decision to enroll at Hale Academy is one of the best we ever could have made.

Great school. Both of my children are learning way above their grade level and the teacher to student ratio is wonderfull. Not only do the teachers teach so much in class but they are willing to stay after for 1 on 1 help on their own time after school. The extra activities have my kids so busy they only have 1 free day after school. They both take horseback riding one day a week, my son not only has after school clubs but chess and science clubs before school! My little girl is in k-5 and has math club, American Girl club, and happy rangers which is a healthy eating and activity club one day each week each. Not to mention the special activites- Parent vs Kids basketball games and soccer games, drama and community service activities. Very happy at Hale, best school in town and has been improving every year.

Hale Academy and it's teachers were just what were were looking for. Our child's education and abilities advanced within just a few weeks of beginning school. We approve of the school leadership and like the fact that the students learn language, science, math, etc. even at the youngest levels. Our child looks forward to attending school and enjoys his teachers as well as his classmates.

Hale is a fantastic private school! My child's teachers are very well qualified and really love their students. The small class sizes help my child feel that he really matters and the teachers are always available to help. After one year at Hale my son's reading level increased by two full grade levels. He really loves the Spanish program and participating in many different after school clubs including band, track, science club and drama. He loves going to school each day! The teachers are amazing and the administrators always show care and concern for the students and parents. I wouldn't have my child attend any other school.

Outstanding school with phenomenal teachers...my daughter was in IEP classes and getting just average and below average grades, we moved her to Hale and she is doing fantastic, even getting honors. The teachers take the time to help each student individually and motivate them to become outstanding students. My daughter has made great progress and I could not be happier. She is in a great social place, a very good academic place and her confidence has blosomed! I could not find a better school in Florida and the equine program is just a huge bonus for her. Thank you Hale Academy!!

Teachers are disgraceful administrators disgraceful everything is absolutely pitiful about this place they call a world of their own. Teachers seek for revenge as i learned if u want a good school St John or Grace or even boarding school and for smaller children Marion county public schools are among the best in the state

Hale Academy offers an academic program like no other. My children were both in public school before coming to Hale and were not being challenged the way that I knew they could be. Hale's curriculum is truly advanced and all of the students in my children's classrooms are hard working and dedicated students. Unlike the public school, where my child would come home on a daily basis and tell stories of disruptive classmates, bullying and cliques, I have the peace of mind now in knowing that she is in a nurturing environment with students and teachers who all come to school each day to learn and be the best that they can be. The Spanish program is great (5 days per week), and we love the new equine program. Thank you, Hale Academy for providing for this community such an outstanding program.

We love Hale Academy. I moved to FL in Nov and had my daughter in public school for one month. It was horrible. We researched private schools in Hernando where we lived and there was nothing like Hale Academy (30 miles from our home and worth every mile) anywhere. It offers much more than what I was looking for in a school. My children, 3rd and PRE K3, had spanish, PE, art and music wkly. You cannot find this anywhere. Watching the staff and teachers work with the children was amazing. You can tell everyone is glad to be apart of Hale.

Hale offers an outstanding academic experience with limited class sizes. The teachers and staff really care about the quatlity of eduction that they are offering the kids. Kids get to learn in an environement that encourages them to discover the world around them not just prepare for another standardized test.
