They are hypocritical, sweeping bullying and issues of race, gender, and sexuality under the rug. It is a good school from an education standpoint, however. It prepared me well for college, but the Bible curriculum is outrageously useless and outdated, save for the senior teacher. Even still, the good education wasn't worth the hate I experienced there. Don't send your kids to Harding Academy.

It's unique for a county school because it offers a special needs preschool program that are integrated into the school setting. The parental and volunteer support is amazing which definitely adds to the level of care of the children.

The teachers here will make you and your kids smile, and though the mastermind behind all of the amazing lunches has retired this year...they still continue to use her recipes to make some of the greatest food ever.

Coming from a kid who generally does not like school and homework, your child will love this amazing place. it has a Christian community with a class entitled Christian Faith Studies. It also teaches Spanish as well. No other languages at the moment, but their might be some, (French hopefully) that will be extended. i have more love for this school and the people in it than ever.

This impaired both his self-image and his interpersonal relationships with other people. It was then determined that he had severe dyslexia. He became a student at Bodine. He did not know anyone there. Within a matter of weeks, he was a much improved person. He accepts his dyslexia, loves his teacher, has made lots of new friends, and has begun to read and write and do math at much improved levels of accomplishment, and this is after just the first semester. He looks forward to going to school. We could not be happier with Bodine. It is such a huge blessing for our relative and for our family. Also, without exception, the other parents who have shared their feelings with us about their offspring at Bodine have similarly expressed their high praise for Bodine. It has a wonderful supportive culture for the kids, and a tremendous staff of talented, devoted professionals. Don B
