Our Story

Built in 2018. Built to last.

Howard Academy was founded on a single conviction: that Liberia's future depends on raising students who are disciplined in character, excellent in academics, and proud of who they are.

Our Mission

Molding youthful minds for future building and excellence.

Howard Academy exists to develop the next generation of Liberian leaders — students who think clearly, act with integrity, compete with discipline, and serve their communities.

Since our founding on August 18, 2018, we have committed to one standard: nothing less than excellence in everything our students do. From the classroom to the field, from the debate stage to the press room, every Mighty Eagle is held to that standard.

We are proud to be one of Liberia's most respected high schools — and we are just getting started.

What We Stand For

Our values, lived every day.

01

Academic Excellence

A rigorous curriculum delivered by trained, dedicated faculty. We prepare students not just to pass exams, but to think.

02

Discipline

Structure, respect, dress code, conduct — the foundations of character. We hold our students to high standards because they are capable of meeting them.

03

Athletic Pride

National champions in kickball and football. Sports teach focus, teamwork, and the will to win — lessons that carry into every other part of life.

04

Holistic Development

Debate, music, dance, press club, spoken word, quiz teams. We develop every dimension of our students because that is what real education requires.
