Sarah W Gibbons Middle School

My kid's time at Hastings has truly been exceptional. Settling into this new school was seamless for her. Thanks to the insightful guidance of her grade 3 teacher, Ms. Mountzoures (who is truly excellent!) .She recommended enrolling my kid in a group class with a specific focus on helping her overcome her shy personality . This level of individual attention my kid received, resembled that of a private school, and it's truly remarkable to witness the progress. Today, my child actively participates in class settings, demonstrating newfound social skills and more confidence in making new friends.I am ever grateful to Ms Mountzoures and Ms.Rouzzo for facilitating these sessions! Thank you!

This school is outstanding and empowers the generations beyond us to learn and have fun. The teachers are extremely kind and are professionals who know how to deal with children and help them learn. Al-Hamra Academy is an excellent school and I would recommend it.

This school has a major bullying problem. While the small classrooms and direct attention may seem appealing, be aware that they do not take bullying seriously and will deny that there is an issue at the school. They will even go as far as to blame the victim of the bullying instead of trying to deal with the issue. - A concerned older sister.
