Testimonials

Hargrave provides a great male military boarding experience, focused on each individual and their future. But, don't take it from us:

"I would also like to tell you that I noticed some simple yet very significant things... (He) picked up a sense of pride; new willingness to engage in tasks with the rest of us; a huge new helping of generosity; considerable drop in need for previous sorts of distractions... in short, conduct much more in line with what I've been convinced of in terms of his true nature since the day I was granted the blessing, privilege and responsibility of bringing him into the world. I'll be anxious to see how he tackles upcoming challenges. Have a good day!"

"I can honestly say that I would not have the interest in government or the job I have had it not been for HMA and its AP Government class."

"My son started Hargrave this year and we are thrilled with his performance and that of the Hargrave staff. Our entire experience thus far has been exceptional, from Amy Walker and the admission staff, the smooth in-processing on matriculation day and the feedback from the teachers and counselors. The TACs have been very responsive as have the coaches. I don't think I have ever wait more than 24 hours for a response from any faculty member. We are highly impressed with quality of education our son is receiving and the professionalism of the faculty and staff that is providing it. My son raves about the SGM and his leadership class. We especially want to note the website and the gallery. It is fantastic. At least once a week there is a picture of my son that we can send to our family and friends. Please pass along my thanks and appreciation to your excellent staff. Thank you all very much for what you do."

"I know he has learned a lot, in many dimensions, during his time at Hargrave. Hargrave has definitely given him the focus and assistance he needed to keep on track."

"Let me say how valuable this summer was to Wriston. We have seen an element of growth in him that truly wasn't there before his four weeks in the wonderful military environment of Hargrave. I believe so strongly that especially in this time we live in, a military school experience is THE best for all boys. We have three more, so look out for them in a summer program for sure!"

"For me, I knew that the academics at Wake Forest were a real challenge, so I had to get my SAT scores even higher than most kids going to Division I schools. I also had to prepare mentally for the workload and they helped us develop study hall habits at Hargrave. There comes a time when you have to put basketball aside to do your schoolwork. Hargrave prepared me for that and I carried that structure over to Wake."
