Who We Are

Harrisburg Academy's mission is directed at only one outcome:

Providing what is best for each student and what will enable them to achieve the best academic outcomes and preparation for success in life.

List of 1 items.

  • Our focus is each individual child.

    In every division from Early Childhood through Upper School, we seek to know each child — his or her motivations, passions, and aspirations. To that end, our focus has to be, and is, on the “whole child” and his or her academic, emotional, and social development. By understanding who each child is, we are best able to attune our instruction to help each child become more analytical, creative and innovative, and most importantly, to think critically.
