If you've got the money, this school is a great way to ensure that your child always gets an A. However, if you're expecting an actual education, be prepared to pay for an outside tutor as well. Also, the lunches are not very good. - Longtime Parent with Multiple Children Enrolled

I am pleased with how Harrisburg Academy has responded to the state-wide school closure. The teachers are teaching online classes to their students and remain positive about this situation. This helps a lot of students who may feel anxious and who do not necessarily have a trusted adult whom they could talk to at home to relieve their stress.

I would definitely recommend this school, I have been there since I was young and have stayed here since then. it has been supportive of both my identity as well as my speech issues.

Lack of communication, elitism, and "playing" at being a legitimate school.

Our son is in kindergarten and we couldn't be happier. The faculty is free to teach how kids learn best and not "to the test." He receives a lot of personalized attention and we feel part of a close community.
