Harmony Science Academy

[kami0127]

This was our first year at HSA and I couldn't be happier with the results I've seen from my 11 year old daughter. She entered in 5th grade with a reading level of 8.5 and six months later she was reading at a 12.9! She scored in the 91% and above in ALL TAKS tests. She was also the winner of the school spelling bee. Her English teacher came to cheer her on at the Regional Bee.

Mr. Aykac is our principal and while he is extremely busy he never hesitates to make and keep his appointments with parents. He has high ambitions for our school.

This school is NOT for those who simply want to ship their child off to be babysat all day. Bullying or any inappropriate conducted is NOT tolerated. The school uses a demerit system to keep track of behavior. After a certain number of demerits, the child is removed from the school. The school also offers six day a week mandatory tutoring for those students struggling with grades. The tutoring is free. So if a child does not succeed it is not due to lack of effort from the school.

The students at this school work hard but in the end have the accomplishments to show for it as HSA is currently the #2 ranked middle school in San Antonio and have won various award in Science Olympiads, UIL and Science Fairs.

The children are required to wear uniforms which eliminates any discrimination due to wealth or lack thereof.

I feel very fortunate to be part of Harmony Science Academy and plan of sending my youngest daughter through the program when she is of school age. She is currently four and a half meaning I'm willing to commit myself to HSA for the next 14 years. I believe that should speak for itself.

You all need to do your research on the Harmony Science Academy and the Gulen Movement. This movement is under Fehtullah Gulen who is described as being the most dangerous Islamic Imman in the world. He has a 5th grade education and is currently living in America because he faces charges in Turkey for trying to overthrow a secular government. Gulen is worth $25 Billion.
1) First of all these are NOT Turkish scholars, the Teachers and Principals that are Turkish are uncredentialed and were brought to America under HB-1 Visas that I am sure our tax dollars helped to pay for. Since 2001 Harmony Science has had over 1,100+ HB-1 visas issued to their organization which consists of the typical Gulen lies and deception of layers of foundations: Cosmos Foundation, Interfaith dialogue, Turkish Raindrop and what about those FREE trips to Turkey for Texas politicians?
2) Taqiyya is the art of deception taught in the "Q'uran" Gulen people always try to piggyback on other religions to appear credible. The new Gulen School in St. Louis, MO bought an old Catholic school and is converting it. The Gulen School in Colorado Lotus School of Excellence also uses a church to hide their true agenda.
3) The test scores are fabricated and the honors/awards are largely from Gulen sponsored or owned events like: Turkish Olympiad, Science Olympiad, Math Matters. The Turkish Olympiads are a showcase of how much American Children have been indoctrinated to Turkish nationalism. Waving the Islamic Flag of Turkey - yes this is the Islamic Symbol some of your Texans had NO IDEA. Then the kids are flown to Turkey for the BIG Dog and Pony show for Turkish politicans that delight in American kids becoming Turkified.
4) Chesapeake Science Academy (MD) Closed, Beehive Science Academy (UT) is CLOSING and Dove SCience Academy that had a RAPE on campus is closing (OK) these schools are TROUBLE
Very little of the state reimbursement is going to the students it goes to promote the school (Marketing public Relations) and little into new books and lab equipment.
5) Soner Tarim the Superintendent has NO STATE LICENSE needed for Public School Education Superintendents. There is huge discrepancies in money laundering to Turkish Contractors to build the schools EGE Construction and Atas Construction.
America WAKE UP you are outsourcing our children's education to a foreign entity. GET BACK YOUR AMERICAN PATRIOTISM AND START WAVING THE FLAG OF AMERICA INSTEAD OF THE ISLAMIC FLAG OF TURKEY. and do YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!! Charter. School.
