Hello, my name is Sujin An and I was a former student of Harmony Science Academy and a former valedictorian. I was in that school for 3years, since the school first opened in 2005(i believe), and my experience in that school is undescrible with words only. The faculty members and the students over there

Currently I am attending Westwood Highschool in Austin because I wanted to explore the outside world an challenge myself further more but I do regret massively. My memories of Harmony Sciene Academy is so valuable that I am going to cherish until my last breath. Harmony Science Academy is such a excellent school and I believe this school will grow into one of best school in the nation. :] Read less

my son has always been an exceptional student, we sent him to harmony for 2 years and during that time found the administrative staff to be very ethnocentric. I was amazed when the first year they opened the europe trip was to be chaparoned by the turkish teachers only. A few of the girls felt they

The test scores were indeed wonderful but my son had aced 2 previous taks scores in a regular school and we decided that he was going to succeed regardless of the school he attends. as for the staff it seems that the turkish teachers were the ones running the place when the teachers that were hired to teach the lower grade levels or local teachers were not given the same authority as the others Read less

Greetings, My name is Brian Abeyta and I am currently the Physical Education Teacher here at Harmony Science Academy. I have been with HSA for two years now and have had a great time with the students and the staff. After reading some of the reviews I wanted to post some information in regards to
... Read more the physical/extracurricular activities that take place here at HSA. The academic aspect of the school is outstanding as we received exemplary status in 2007-2008, but along with that great achievement we also provide a great sports program. In 2008-2009 we started our first year of Basketball and Volleyball teams. The students had an awesome time and really enjoyed competing with other schools. We will continue again in 2009-2010 with Basketball and Volleyball, and will also be adding a new Football program.

I am a 3rd year parent of 3 children at this school, and I have mixed feelings. I agree that the level of education is exceptional, but I don't agree with the all the methods that the administration uses to acheive these goals. I believe that a well rounded person needs not only academics but also
... Read more electives to enhance their learning capabilities. The students are treated as robots and are used by the administration to 'show off' their accomplishments by any means they can. The communition is great, if you don't question 'why' they do things and go along with what they 'tell' you. Otherwise, you are made to not feel welcome if you question any authority, just like the students. My questions have usually gone unanswered or brushed off by responses that aren't related to the topic at hand. The English language of the adminstrators/staff is not proficient. Read less

My kids have attended HSA since the first year it opened. Now my kids are in seventh and eight grade. I decided to keep them here because their main priority is education. Their curriculum is geared toward intellectualism not sports or extracurricular 'wastes of time.' The teachers are very responsive

Continued.... Other such electives are not chosen by the student. Engineering class or sociology were the only other two electives we have and we even didn't get to choose those. We were merely given a test to see which one got to meet the standards to the engineering class so the others could be put

The teachers and classes contain alot of learning and help your child exceed, but that is all there is. No sports or relaxing classes, such as physical education, art, or music, are allowed for the students in the higher levels. They only want them to earn more credits and have an exaggerated discipline system. With the shirt tucked in problem its not thats its hard, but students feel more relaxed when using untucked.
