Dear Harding Academy Community,
As we head into a well-deserved holiday break, I want to share my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation with our entire Harding community—our wonderful students and families, our dedicated faculty and staff across every department, the generous parent volunteers who give so freely of their time, and the Harding Parent Association who take care of us with treats and meals when we need them most! Thank you, merci, and gracias to everyone who makes our school the special place it is.
What a remarkable first half of the year we've had! Watching our students grow academically has been truly inspiring—you can see it in the quality of their work and in our strong ERB scores. Our sports teams are thriving, and the enthusiasm for PE and movement is contagious throughout campus. The arts are flourishing everywhere you look, with visual creations, musical performances, and theatrical expressions bringing joy and allowing our students to discover and share their unique voices. Every day, we witness the positive effects of our collective efforts to make each moment meaningful for our students.
Harding Academy’s excellent reputation as a strong and child-centered school continues to spread throughout the city, and we've been touched by the tremendous amount of interest from families seeking to join our community since last July.
As 2025 draws to a close, we at Harding Academy have so much to be grateful for. I hope this holiday season brings you precious time with family and friends, a chance to enjoy the hobbies you love, and moments to reflect on the good that has filled your year. My wish for every child and adult in our community is simple: may you experience joy and peace, warmth and connection, and may the new year bring abundant health and happiness to you and those you love.
In this season of peace and goodwill, I am wishing you all Happy Holidays and here’s to a wonderful 2026!
