Welcome Back to Harmony
Dear Harmony Families,
Welcome to a brand-new school year! We’re grateful you’ve chosen Harmony as your partner in education. Whether you’re homeschooling or participating in online learning, we’re excited to support you and your student on this journey.
We’re always looking for ways to grow and improve—and this year is no exception. One exciting update is that student funding has increased to $2,025 per student, giving families even more flexibility to customize learning with high-quality curriculum, tools, and educational experiences.
We’re also looking forward to connecting with students and families in person. Our calendar is full of engaging field trips and enrichment events, and we encourage you to join in as many as you can—they’re a great way to build community and enhance your student’s education.
At Harmony, our mission is to make your experience as smooth and supportive as possible. You can count on us to keep refining our programs, resources, and systems to better serve your needs.
Remember, your student’s mentor is your go-to person for questions, support, and guidance. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them—they’re here for you.
Wishing you a year of growth, discovery, and meaningful learning. Let’s make it a great one!
Warm regards,
John Thorn
President
Harmony Educational Services
