School Reviews

Our two children attended Highland Academy. Both children were vastly different in learning styles and interests. They both found a love of learning in a safe caring, family-like environment. They both entered high school with a strong academic foundation and attended very different high schools. We could not be happier to have had the opportunity to experience such a wonderful school life for our children.
