“This is my daugther's first year in this school. (1st grade) They give her class more than one homework per night, and that include weekends. I like it that way, because I know my child is not wasting time learning. I am very proud to see how advanced my daughter is. This school is the Best!!!”

“My child started at PHA with an IEP for a learning disability. Within 2 years she was consistently achieving high honor roll status without any need for SPED support :) She's now in her 4th year, with high self esteem and good friendships with both adults and peers in the PHA community.”

“WOW! PHA Middle School is truly an excellent school. The quality of the work given to students exceeds what I have seen at the 'best' private schools. This school defies all stereotypes and disparaging statistic relating to 'urban' schools. PHA is top quality.”

“I have been very impressed with PHA. The leadership shown by Jed Lippard and the school principal is stellar. They are organized and focussed on their goals, as well as caring and supportive. My son has come so far academically and I feel he is being prepared for any challenge ahead. They are now working on improving parent involvement with the acknowledgement that it is one of their weaker aspects.”

“My daughter graduated from PHA three years ago. She is in college right now and is doing pretty well. The quality of education is fantastic. Teachers are well invested in your child's education. School has great ways to engage parents in their child education. The multi-cultural environment allowed my child to understand her classmates's culture and the richness in it.”

“I went to PHA for all of elementary and middle school. I transfered out to BB&N, a cambridge public school, and felt that I was well prepared for the work load. The diverse environment and the close knit community helped to round out the more priveleged and expansive view of the private school. I feel I am a better prepared for the world having seen both ends of the economic and social spectrum. As long as one is willing to take advantage of the young and enthusiastic teachers and the programs available, PHA is a wonderful place to grow up.”
