Today, I visited the CCA AgWorks and toured their facilities for soilless farming, which was…read moreamazing to say the least! I'm so impressed by the farming they are doing and hands-on learning opportunities they are giving to children in the area. The AgWorks facility is handicap accessible and they sell their food to local restaurants and businesses, so children get exposure to soilless farming AND business. Not only do the farming techniques for aquaphonics and hydroponics sustain the "crops", the solar panels on the building provide enough energy to power the lab. This place was a completely hidden gem.

I just called and spoke to Stephanie. Her attitude was completely unacceptable, to say the least. I…read morewas told by my child's principal to reach out to the registration office to confirm the primary emergency contact number on file. She refused to help me. She raised her voice and discontinued the call by saying byeeee. I called back. The attitude continued. She wouldn't let me speak and when I cut her off and started speaking, her ignorant entitled self, had the audacity to say, she wasn't going to continue the call and transferred me to Sara Box or Vox's voicemail. Central Dauphin, please stop hiring these angry, incompetent, idiots and forcing parents to jump through hoops, to get some simple things done. It's been years, I'm tired.

To say this place lacks professionalism is an understatement. The assistant principal, Durrell…read moreBurns is such an immature liar. I met with him today for clarification on HIS lies. I emailed this man for three days before he even bothered to respond.He danced around every question I asked him. He had the audacity to tell me he wasn't on trial and told me to ask my kid. Unbelievable.. When you're being truthful, you don't have to recap your story using a written text from your phone. Liars are always mad when you call them out. He was acting like an angry 13 year kid. He tried to antagonize me, I fired back with my words, then he told security "get her out!!)He was still running his mouth as I was leaving. Trying to communicate with him was by far the most difficult part of my day. I can only imagine what the kids go through. This is who the students have to look up to, I think not. The kids aren't safe with him there. His entire demeanor made me feel as though he wanted to hit me. At that point, I was already done. He should go back to teaching, and gain more experience and then try this assistant principal thing again. Right now, his maturity level is beneath most of the kids there. I didn't get anything I went in for today. I'm disgusted that I even thought he was capable of having a candid, adult conversation. The more I think about it, he seemed as though he wanted to impress his coworkers by attempting to stand firm with me, as I exposed his lying self. From the things he said, he seems awfully jealous of the teenage boys, mentioning who they talk to and who they're close with. It's none of his business. He has bigger fish to fry, like learning to communicate with parents without acting like a child. I will NEVER make the mistake of acknowledging him again. Beware of him. Let me not forget the woman at the front desk. She ignored me and cackled with everyone in the office until, I asked if she was going to continue to ignore me or help me. She then called Durrell to the front office, to let him know I was there.

Our family has had a fabulous first year at Harrisburg Academy! We find the teachers and…read moreadministrators very responsive. The curriculum is exceptional. The values, educational emphasis, and vision of this school as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School are second-to-none. If you want the best for your child (K through 12), this is a terrific school! What I find exceptional about the school is the level of care of the teachers and staff. My child is not just a number. With small class size, the attention on each child is great. Teachers and staff members, who do not have my child in class, know him by name and greet him daily. There are plenty of school-wide activities that are wonderful to participate in, as a parent. It truly is not just a place to get an amazing education, it is a family of like-minded individuals, who want the best for their children and who want something more than the typical public school education. I'll finish with this: what sold me on the Academy is the emphasis on preparing "thinkers" for a world that is constantly-changing; they gear their education to teach children "how" to problem-solve, not just how to memorize for the test; they acknowledge the global-connectedness that our world is currently experiencing, and as such their philosophy is train the students to be prepared for the globally-connected workplace, not just how to graduate with a diploma. As a full-continuum International Baccalaureate (IB) World School they are preparing these children for the future. I want my child to be his best and have terrific educational opportunities. I have no doubt that that is what we are getting at the Harrisburg Academy. We hope to keep our son there through grade 12! I hope this review was helpful to you.

If your kids are into the arts and sciences this is the best private school for them! The tuition…read moreis high but it includes before and after school care for elementary aged kids. The best part is that parents can volunteer in the classroom without so many restrictions as public school. Background checks are required of course. With the new leadership I expect many great things to come at the academy. It has recently become an IB world school for all grades K-12 (not just a couple years in high school at other schools in the area). This is hands down the best preschool around so even if you end up moving your kids to public school in 1st grade you'll get your money's worth.

AES blocked me on its Facebook page. When I called AES to complain, they told me to write them a letter because the social media team doesn't accept calls. This is the year 2021 and they still don't have a phone. They also lie blatantly. When I said its student loans are backed by the federal government, so they can't block me on social media. The service rep said AES is a private bank which isn't beholden to the Department of Education.
