On March 10, 2001, Dan Walters, the Sacramento columnist, revealed in the Press-Enterprise newspaper that only about 8% of California's high school students each year actually receive a four-year college degree. There are many reasons for this low figure but the main point is that many high school students are not prepared or motivated to obtain a higher education. In fact, too many students enter high school ill-prepared for even this level.

          At the Academy, your child will receive a comprehensive education that is beyond the high school level.  Parents need to choose a private school that will best meet their expectations for their child.  Here is a list of the items that Hawarden Hills Academy offers:

  1. Academic K-8 excellence. (See SAT Scores)
