The answer is really quite simple – to ensure the future academic success of your child.  In college the stumbling blocks for the vast majority of undergraduate students are the required science and math courses they will encounter.  Sadly, many students have not been prepared in high school for the most basic of science and math courses they will take during their first year of college.  Many of those students have the rude awakening that they weren’t prepared for college and become a statistic and leave after one semester.

 

Extensive research has proven that students who have taken more demanding science & math courses in high school are better prepared for college and work.  In the 2008 U.S. Department's Final Report of the Mathematics Advisory Panel, it concludes "students who complete Algebra II are more than twice as likely to graduate from college compared to students with less mathematical preparation."

The state of Arkansas trails most of the country in preparing its graduating seniors for freshman level classes at a university.  Just 17% of Arkansas graduating seniors are prepared for the rigors of college with a mere 6 states lagging behind Arkansas.

 

Haas Hall Academy’s educational philosophy is to expose and prepare our scholars now for the rigorous mathematics and science content they will be exposed to in college.  As a functioning microcosm of a university, Haas Hall Academy scholars complete Carnegie units by semester - not by the year.

 

Haas Hall Academy is the accelerated college preparatory choice for students with high intensity of purpose.  Most of our graduates tell us their first semester of college was review for them because of the intensive preparation they received while attending Haas Hall Academy.  Haas Hall Academy produces truly educated graduates ready for the academic challenges that await them in higher education.
