We have two children going to Harbor Day School We are very pleased with the high level of education that our children are receiving . The English department is excellent and we are continously amazed as evidenced by kids writing skills. On the negative side,the science department lacks passion and enthusiam in both lower and upper school . So supplement your child with extra science if that is his or her forte. For some reason, it seems that good science teachers are really hard to come by! On the whole, HDS really prepares students to to well in high school, no matter where they go. Good study habits are formed at an early age and students go on to good universities.

I have four graduates and two attending HDS. All have demonstrated a true love of learning. HDS does a marvelous job of instilling reading comprehension and reading retention. The school promotes a family atmosphere from K-8. Graduates have utilized their experience at HDS to gain acceptance to some of the top universities in the country. The 2005 class now graduating from highschool has around 50% acceptance to the Ivies, Stanford, etc.

I love Harbor Day! The teachers are great and the athletics are supporting and fun. We are taught one grade level above other schools. I must admit that the grammer and reading are a bit better than the math but the math is great too. We have P.E. every day. For lower school we have the following out of class subjects: Art, Science, Wood Shop, Music, Spanish, Computer, and Library. We also have special programs: BOB, Newberry, and Calldacout. This is the best School ever!
