Harmony at Home
A program of Harmony Academy, at National University

1. Who We Are

Harmony at Home is a mobile app developed by Harmony Academy, a division of National University.

Harmony Academy fosters knowledge, skills, and attitudes youth need to create meaningful relationships, engage in rigorous learning, and build skills needed now and into the future. We help families build stronger relationships and develop essential life skills using research-backed content and interactive activities.

By focusing on life skill development, our comprehensive resources and support provide opportunities for young people to build and nurture healthy relationships, giving them the tools they need to grow into responsible adults and community members. We believe that championing this philosophy through innovative programs and resources are the spark that ignites the transformative success of every child.
