About

Faculty & Staff

Our faculty takes an integrated approach to education, by carefully engineering the overall, school-wide continuum that is the Harding approach to education. Working in both grade-level and school-wide subject matter teams gives our faculty the insight and the ability to maximize learning in the present while building a robust path of academic growth from grade to grade.
