Most of the positive reviews here were solicited by the administration from new families. The curriculum is okay. The middle school is reasonably good but in the high school years there is no support for students. If your children have better ambitions than ASU, reconsider sending them here.No Phys Ed Art or Music. Homework load is insane and limited learning value. The administration doesn’t care how the pressure affects your child. If they jumped off the balcony from the miserable pressure grinder at school, i would just get a call to pick up their bodies as soon as possible.
I have really been impressed with everything about HYSA. I have never once felt that a decision was made with anything but the best interests of the kids in mind. The teachers are really creative, nurturing and thoughtful about instruction. I like that they are associated with the university and have a focus on innovation and trying new things to advance their goals. There is a lot of interaction with the school and community/parents. The kids aren't competitive with one another but realize that each has their own unique strengths. And they have a lot of opportunities to show off their talents with Musical Interlude Programs, plays, and any number of after school clubs. They have a great community of scholars with high expectations from the kids while at the same time nurturing friendships, having fun, and recognizing the importance of social and emotional needs. Best decision our family has ever made for our child.
