BHA is a private academic school licensed through the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

We provide local public school districts with an innovative alternative to after-school placements, district housed alternative education programs, and costly special education programs.

Our staff offers opportunities for success that students may not have in their current placements.

We work diligently with children who have a prognosis for failure and show them how to succeed.
