Teaching for Transformation

We inform to transform. When students in African American history learn about Ida B. Wells, they discover how to be justice seekers today. When students build robots in engineering, they explore the universal order in all of creation. Every class at Harding Academy is built for this kind of academic and spiritual growth.
