"At my old school, the teachers just follow rules from the government and teach because they have to.  At Halio, the teachers follow the needs of the students and teach because they love to."                                                       Michon Hundman, age 11

Our staff of highly educated, world traveled, experienced teachers are well equipped to design courses to both accomplish international standards and to further explore the curiosity and personal passions of the students.  In every course we’ve offered, student achievements have exceeded parents’ and teachers' goals.

All of the teachers share a firm commitment to serve, guide, protect and support the children to be the best they can be.  The teachers teach from their hearts with a passion to deliver the best possible educational experience to our students.  We know we are successful when our students love their classes and love learning.

Every teacher has unique strengths.  By allowing teachers freedom to trust their instincts, and teach their passion, the interest and enthusiasm is directly communicated to the students.  That is our most powerful learning device.  When teachers and students work together based on shared interest and excitement about learning, a dynamic relationship develops that allows the student to take possession of their own knowledge and learning.  They naturally begin to express their highest potential, and naturally develop their own intelligence.
