What Families Are Saying
We’re honored to walk alongside families in their children’s learning journey. Here’s what parents and students have shared about their experience at Home Academy.
Hands down one of the best schools in the area you could send your kids to! Prior to this I was homeschooling my daughter but couldn’t turn down this opportunity once we saw all the school had to offer plus she had really been wanting a real school experience! She’s been there around 3 years now I believe and I’ve never seen a kid so excited about going to school! She is flourishing and loves everything about Home Academy! It’s a small classroom so the kids are practically a little family. Amazing teachers that truly care and accommodate all the age ranges. Highly recommend!
I’m a 13 year old student at home academy and I have been going there for 2 years now. With 6 different types of programs and schools I have tried, this is above all the best. With the nicest kids and no bullying. We are like a family, growing up together, learning together and becoming lifelong friends. There’s also no judgment or “most popular” we are all just nice. Love it here.
My daughter has been attending Home Academy since it first opened three years ago. We are beyond blessed that this beautiful school became an option since public school was not working for our family. Since day one Home Academy has only blossomed and the children have flourished with all the STEM, field trips, and hands on activity learning! The teachers are warm and have big hearts so the children feel welcomed and loved. I can’t express how much I appreciate the community feel as they’ve all grown so much together as a team and individually.
I have been going to home academy for 3 years. It is the best school I have ever been to. I don’t have any stress there, unlike other schools I’ve been to. My teacher Ms. Kathy is the best teacher Ive ever had. I REALLY recommend you going to this school.
