He has had opportunities to attend church with the different school groups on both Wednesday and Friday nights. His favorite part of the week is chapel because he loves all the singing they do. There were less than 13 students in his class and his reading level on the SAT was two levels above grade level. I have only been impressed by the program which continues to get better and better.

What an excellent program THA offers to ALL students! I am so impressed by the quality of service they offer.

If your child receives McKay scholarship, this school is the best in offering learning disabled services such as speech, occupational therapy and physical therapy. I am also excited because of their dual-enrollment program with Valencia Community College and the Votech schools in town. Read less
