Dont waste your money and chance at a good education for your children. Education is the best legacy you can give your child and this is not the place. Bad teachers and even worse administration. They increase the fees every year until its no longer affordable. The amount of manipulation and narcissism that goes on here is alarming with no accountability. Because this is an independent school its very hard to get accountability. Dont get in and get stuck. This is definitely not the school for a great mental and academically balanced education. The previous head of school of many years quit when he saw things were headed downhill and the guy Deandre Calhoun has no idea what he is doing. Its sad to see how things have deteriorated in the last few years. Thankfully my child is in 8th grade and he is graduating and ready to put this horror behind us.

I would not recommend enrolling your child in this school. The administration appears to be more focused on financial matters than on the well-being and development of the children. The staff has demonstrated unprofessional behavior, and my four-year-old was removed from the school due to unsubstantiated allegations.The school does not provide adequate support or resources for children they perceive as having behavioral challenges. Michelle Taylor initially informed me that my son could not return because of these allegations, but later denied making that statement—apparently in an attempt to justify additional fees on what they claim is an outstanding balance.For an institution that identifies as a Christian academy, I found very little that reflected Christian values in their actions. I strongly advise parents to consider other options before enrolling their children here.

I absolutely love this school. My son is in Kindergarten this school year and I am very pleased. He has made dramatic improvements in his comprehension, reading, writing and math. Plus he adores his school! At just about 6 years old, he is always rushing me in the morning so he can get to school on time. He tells me "Mommy don't make me late", LOL. I do believe that every experience is unique and that you must do thorough research when deciding where to send your children. I have a two year old daughter who I plan to also send to HTEDS and follow in her brother's steps. I love that they demand the most from their students and require parents to participate in their children's education. Yes their expectations are high, but I think high expectations prepare our children to readily compete on a larger level in all parts of their life. While I feel the tuition is more than affordable and I decided to give the school 4 stars because the before and after care is quite pricey. They should re-evaluate that system. Otherwise, great, safe, engaging and fun learning environment at a great price and their program can compete with most of the surrounding private schools in the region.
