– we are a family. The relationships made here last a lifetime because they are joined at the heart with beliefs that transcend time. Our academic model succeeds because of well-qualified, godly teachers who serve as role models for children as they learn to interact socially, guiding children with love and kindness and teaching them by example how to form deep and meaningful relationships that connect on a spiritual level. At Harding, we are unified not by social standing, economics or race, but by our faith in God and our desire to achieve the highest possible return for our lives. We strive to sharpen minds, train bodies and touch hearts to enrich each place these students go in their lives.

“Sometimes the greatest lessons you learn are not found in the textbooks. It would mean nothing to leave high school with a brain full of knowledge and no passion in my heart. I was well prepared for university study, but more than that, my time at Harding Academy prepared me for life. There I experienced five loaves, two fish, twelve ruffians, a carpenter, a cross... and teachers who touch a child’s life forver.”

“ I want my ch ildren educated by individuals as concerned w who are ith guarding th ei r so ul educating their s as they are wit minds. What m h ak es H truly invaluable arding Academ y is that children are given oppor to learn under tunities the guidance of a Christian staf and administr f, faculty, ation who embr ace and celebrat while continuall e diversity y pointing to the only source Jesus Christ.” of unity:
at harding , students are challenged academically, athletically, artistically and spiritually. We believe that the Christian values through which everything is taught give our students added compassion, integrity and joy in their lives. Our classrooms are engaged and enthusiastic and our students learn to view the world in a secure and sustaining environment. They leave with a sound educational foundation, an interest in others and a desire to use their God-given gifts in the best possible way they can. We’re proud that we’ve led so many boys and girls to become men and women who forge successful paths, contribute to their communities and pass the traditions and training they learned at Harding to future generations.
