THA is a great private school. It is doing a great job trying to stay up to date in an ever changing world. Tuition is low compared to surrounding schools and has a way better curriculum and is accredited.

My children started here a year ago and we've been pleased so far. They feel safe, and are thriving academically and socially.

Thomas Heyward is poorly runner with poor funding and no resources. Parents think they know what is best and will slam teachers and turn all the parents against you. There is no technology for students to use, and internet does not work reliable. The security for the schools and unsafe. Students get away with everything and there is no administration enforcement on them. If the school last 4 more years it will be a miracle.

My oldest graduated here and my youngest is a Junior. Very good school with a family like atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Overall it was a terrible experience. From admin to parents, no one takes academics seriously. Parents push teachers around and force them to do what they want instead of what the teacher thinks is best. Parents are not involved unless it has to do something with athletics. School is severely behind...
