I've been at Achievement First Hartford Academy since kindergarten. I've always loved the classes and lessons being taught, and the extracurricular activities the offered. Overall, growing up and going through each grade I developed my circle of friends and created bonds that hopefully last a lifetime.

The education at Achievement First Hartford Academy is very good. The teachers have a connection with the students. The school pushes me and my peers to do our absolute best and try to the best of our ability. They have been taking about college since elementary school. I have been here since KIndergarten till now my senior year and it has made a great impact on my life.
