We closely investigated over a dozen private schools before choosing AHA and we know we made the best choice. Small class sizes means my daughter gets extra attention, the teachers are exceptional people in addition to being great teachers, and the administration is available to discuss any concerns

My son has been a student in AHA since 1999. The academic curriculum is excellent. The students and the school have consistantly scored extremely high on the national standardized tests.

Speaking as a parent of a child who got labeled as having behavioral problems by the administration and the parents, when in reality we discovered that our child has a serious medical issue, our experience with AHA was less than stellar. The administration made promises to work with our child in
... Read more the classroom and that promise lasted two weeks. Our child's classroom experience was unbearable and the teacher gave us the impression that she did not have the time or inclination to deal with our child and often our child was taken out of the classroom as not to disrupt the rest of the class. When your child comes to you crying about their classroom experience and telling you that they do not want to return to school, that does not scream 'love and nurturing' environment to me. Read less

I can say, I love AHA. I really can't imagine going anywhere else. Yes, sometimes I do wish I could go somewhere else, but really, that is not a lot! I have been here for 8 years, I love it more than anything. I think it's so great that I can say I know the entire high school and the middle school by

I don't think the size of our school has any affect on anything except the hands on teaching we get from the teachers.

I am so happy to see people writing such wonderful, truthful things about AHA! There seems to be only one person posting very negative things. I can comment on the situation referenced because I am aware of it - not judging, just stating facts. It is very true that disgruntled parents can often be traced

They love and nurture them, laugh with them and cry with them each and every day. They pour their hearts into them. It's nice to see just how many happy families there are out there that we serve. Again, people should not listen to us if they are unsure, they should come and see for themselves. You too will be amazed. Read less

I have taught at eight different schools, public and private, in three states, and I have not seen a school where the staff and the students are so supportive of each other. Acadmically, AHA has the most comprehensive pre-k through twelve curriculum I have seen in Georgia. The most exciting thing about

We moved to this area because of the government schools. We fully intended on sending our child to the government schools until we did some research that showed test scores had been steadily declining. We made the decision to send our child to AHA and thus far, could not be happier. We have had wonderful

Our child has excelled academically far beyond what I believe he/she could have accomplished in a government school. With math and reading scores that are late middle school and early high school level...and not standardized test scores, mind you, I cannot see how this education has not been worth every penny.
