Due to current health concerns Harmony School of Excellence Austin will remain closed until further notice. While our facilities remains closed instruction and learning at Harmony schools will continue. Our classes are operating online through our established digital learning tools, taking advantage of many of the technology tools and blended learning methods already practiced in Harmony’s physical classrooms. Our teachers and school leaders will remain available to guide our students each school day. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to continue serving your family.
