At Pflugerville’s Harmony Science Academy, learning often requires a few things besides just paper and pencil. Think: test tubes, microscopes or robots. At this school, students undertake hands-on projects to find solutions to real-world problems. They combine the principles of science, technology, engineering and math to do it. This allows them to make deep, lasting connections across disciplines. In an aspect of the program known as “Students on Stage,” young scientists share what they’ve learned with their peers and the community. Sports and a wealth of enrichment activities round out the day. Students run track and play basketball, soccer and flag football. Coding, newspaper, chess and yoga are just some of the many clubs they can join. The school has been recognized by both Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report for academic achievement, and Greatschools.com gives it a 10 out of 10 for its success preparing students for college. It’s no wonder 100% of graduating seniors are accepted. Though it may sound like an elite private school, Harmony Science Academy is a public charter, which means it open to all, tuition-free. A unique model, a reputation for excellence and countless enrichment opportunities make this school among the top choices for sixth through 12th grade education in Pflugerville.

Harmony Science Academy Pflugerville provides sufficient education for students and aims to help students from all backgrounds reach and obtain their academic and career goals. The facilities are somewhat minimalistic but the school attempts to progress in facility growth. Some of the teachers cannot help students from where they are while some teachers are very strong in their teaching methods and help the students succeed and feel like they have a purpose in their learning.
