LOVE—The heart of what we do at Harding is love. Our most important task is teaching our students to love others as Christ loves them.

Harding Academy- graduate after graduate, over 35 years of consistent enrollment in my family! Harding is more than a school--it's a family, a way of life, providing godly training leading to the best you 24/7/365 every year...a Lion for Life! In every city, church, and job I've held, I've found Harding connections masterfully given by the Lord. The school song sings of our treasure, Christian joy and pride, God's providence building the school serving as our guide. Providence surely has guided us as we've adapted and prepared to meet each generation where they are. Now, as I sing this song beside my three children knowing soon they'll have their own class rings bearing Harding's image, I'm convicted the Lord charted our journeys, blessed our choices, sacrifices, and commitment to ensure my time and theirs each day until the walk to receive their diplomas. There's no other place we'd rather be. It's a foretaste of heaven on earth.
They kinda treat their students as though they are children much younger than they are not realizing that if they just backed off then the "problems" they are trying do desperately to stomp out would probably not be problems if they just let the good kids do their thing and individually address problem children rather than "oh no a class of 6th graders who just got these school issued iPads found out they could use them Bible app like social media, we need to literally ban the Bible app for the entire middle and high school (at a Christian school) and make them use the trash Bible Gateway app rather than keep it quiet and deal with the persons responsible". But other than that education is pretty good.
Harding Academy is a small private school that excels in growing connections with classmates and especially teachers. Teachers strive to grow and understand the students they teach while also maintaining a sense of authority. Harding also gives students the academic freedom to do honors or AP classes with many different academic programs to choose from. Many of the staff and teachers are always filled with spirit and are always excited to plan fun events while also still attaching education with it. If you’re looking for a private school that values connections and a good education then Harding Academy in Memphis is the perfect school for you.
