Proven Leadership Model
Great schools start with great leadership. Beginning with our founder and governing board, AHA is framed on a proven leadership model for an outstanding private school. We strongly believe that all students can learn. To maximize learning opportunities, our STEAM model coupled with project based learning and social emotional learning offers students different ways to learn and reinforce content. We are intentional about our school culture and subscribe to a caring and encouraging culture where students and faculty flourish.
AHA is also committed to provide transformational leadership, effective professional development and mentoring to help faculty self-actualize and become masters of the art of teaching. Moreover, our program reaches parents and key stakeholders to engage them as active partners in our school community.
We know children are powerful and are confident that they will flourish and successfully learn deep critical thinking and problem solving skills coupled with age appropriate social emotional skills in a caring and encouraging environment using our 21st century model.
