Second Grade
Our children develop problem-solving skills appropriate for each grade’s curriculum and are given many opportunities to develop critical thinking strategies. At the same time, our elementary school students are building their own independence, individuality, and creativity.
Through our programs, children build a deeper understanding of their social world and stretch their understanding of their environment. We celebrate their exploration through community field trips, class activities, and visitors to the classroom. Our Elementary Program has been developed to allow each child to achieve his or her highest academic and personal potential.

My two children attended Home Away From Home academy and had an excellent pre-school education. One is now a junior in HS and one is a cadet at West Point, The US Military Academy and doing wonderful things …making positive contributions to society. I truly believe an excellent beginning…creating life learners is a major factor. Thank you. I still have their progress reports from Mrs. Phyllis. My 4 year old son told her he was a mathematician at the time. He is now studying engineering. Forever grateful
It is a great place for the kids to be in. The school teachers and owners are great. The curriculum is a great one that will keep the kids busy all the time and prepare them very well for the future. My kids loved it there and particularly my daughter. She was crying when she finished the last grade offered by the school. If you want a place for the kids to have the good foundation, this school is the place.
I am certain that the superior education my children are receiving at Home Away From Home Academy will provide them with a solid foundation for their future. Everyday I know that my children’s best interests are a primary concern.
HAFHA is a truly special place. My three children are happy, and I have seen them grow emotionally, socially, and educationally since entering the school
