About Us
We are students currently attending Harmony Science Academy- West Houston since the school was inaugurated four years ago. We believe that math and science are crucially important to our lives and the world. Being in Harmony gives us new opportunities to enhance our science knowledge with the STEM initiative. In addition to studying and learning new things, we both love playing all types of sports including volleyball, basketball and soccer. Learning new things allows us to have interest in many other subjects besides math and science such as foreign culture, cuisine and languages. Harmony has opened new doors to many cultures and we have learned to appreciate and admire them. In the future, both of us would like to keep pursuing careers that involve challenging objectives with interesting subjects such as math and science.

Harmony Public Schools is the recipient of Race To the Top District (RTT-D) grant in 2012. With RTT-D grant funds, Harmony is implementing a cross-disciplinary, multi-sensory, technology-enabled project-based learning (PBL) curriculum that integrates STEM, social studies, and English Language Arts (ELA). Researchers have documented numerous benefits of project-based approaches beyond the development of content knowledge: students learning through a project-based curriculum develop the ability to transfer their learning to new situations, demonstrate an increased ability to define problems and support their reasoning, and are better able to tackle conceptual problems than those taught with a more traditional curriculum. Through creative and innovative uses of technology such as video storytelling and web sites, Harmony students are publicly sharing their work both throughout the process and in a culminating capstone presentation, ensuring an authentic and meaningful context for deep student learning.
