What is there NOT to like about Harrisburg Academy? The teachers are excellent, extremely caring, and appreciate the uniqueness of each student. The same can be said for the school's administrators and principals - their commitment to educating the whole child is clear with every decision, every newsletter, and every event. The curriculum is challenging, but not out of any child's reach. With so many schools cutting music, phys ed, and foreign language classes, it's a relief to know that Harrisburg Academy will never let that happen within its campus.
my son has spent 4 years to date at Harrisburg Academy. Every teacher have been excellent. The Academics are amazing, I can definitly tell the differance between my 2nd grader and my sons baseball team. he talks much more fluent than the rest and can carry a much better conversation with adults. homework is a little harder but definitly worth it. the biggest benifit I've seen is his personality, he has a great personality and I atrtribute a large portion of that to school.
Our child attended the academy from kindergarten until middle school. She did quite well and the education and guidance she received was top notch. However, she has recently switch to a public school, and there is no real difference in the level of learning, or the amount of one on one instruction with faculty. In fact there are more opportunities both academically and socially at her public school. The Academy is a great school, but not really any different then some of the better public schools in the area.
We are absolutely thrilled with the year our daughter has had at Harrisburg Academy. She absolutely loves going to school every day and we are amazed with how much she has grown both academically and socially in just one year.
My son loves going to school! The Harrisburg Academy keeps him challenged and excited about learning. The small class size and the diversity of the students is wonderful. It is a safe environment that encourages learning.
Sometimes you don't know how good it is until they graduate. My 2 kids worked hard in Upper School and it paid off. They knew how to write papers, and exempted out of English and Foreign Language courses in college. Looking back, they appreciate the hard work they put in, and the close relationships they had with teachers. It can't be duplicated.
We are very satisfied with the quality of education and the learning environment that Harrisburg Academy provides. Our child has been at Harrisburg Academy since JK. She loves every aspect of the school. She has been exceling in art and music. We're looking forward to many more years of excellence!
Our children have been at the Academy since HATS. We really have enjoyed watching the teachers and other staff help them to become well rounded children who love to be at school. The small class size allows children and parents to feel like family. It has been a wonderful choice for our family
My family and I couldn't be happier with the quality of education that Harrisburg Academy provides. This school is dedicated to each individual child, and strives to encourage independent thought and creativity. The entire staff - teachers, administrators, maintenance - work incredibly well together to provide the best school environment possible. We're looking forward to many more years of excellence!
I have a Middle Schooler at the Harrisburg Academy. We've been a part of the HA community since Kindergarten and we just love it. Small class size is our favorite of many positives ... our child benefits in so many ways by attending the Academy. The nurturing environment has allowed our child to shine and grow. Every child should have this opportunity.
