High Schools Want Our Graduates
Our Transition Program helps 8th graders leave Harvard Avenue Performance Academy fully prepared for high school academically, socially, and emotionally.
We guide families through applications, test prep, and interviews, helping students earn spots and scholarships at some of the top high schools in Ohio.
With the right support, our students don’t just get in. They stand out.
Social Media Updates
Confidence and success go hand in hand at Performance Academies.
When students know what is expected of them—and have the structure and support to meet those expectations—they begin to believe in themselves.
That belief shows up in the classroom, in their effort, and in their willingness to take on challenges. Over time, confidence becomes competence, and effort turns into achievement.
Success is not accidental. It is built intentionally, one day at a time.

Last week, some of our scholars had the opportunity to participate in a friendly martial arts competition at Harvard Performance Academy 🥋💪
They showed focus, discipline, and great sportsmanship while putting their skills to the test. We are proud of the confidence, respect, and perseverance they demonstrated both on and off the mat.

Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day by reflecting on the life, leadership, and lasting impact of Dr. King. ✨📖 His message of justice, service, courage, and equality continues to shape our nation and our school communities.
Through our character development program, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a familiar and meaningful figure to our students. 🧠❤️ His words and actions help guide conversations about respect, responsibility, and standing up for what is right—values we work to instill every day.
Today, we encourage our students and families to honor Dr. King’s legacy not just in words, but through action, service, and compassion for others. 🤝🌍

🦎🐍 An experience of a lifetime for our elementary scholars!
Harvard Ave Performance Academy was thrilled to welcome Outback Ray for an unforgettable, hands-on learning experience. Our scholars learned about animals, their habitats, and how to respect and care for wildlife—all while seeing incredible animals up close.
Learning comes alive when curiosity meets real-world experiences, and this visit did just that! 🌍✨
