The Harbour School

The Harbour School This is the official page of The Harbour School at Annapolis and Baltimore The Harbour School serves students ages 6-21. Our school has two locations.

A wide variety of individual abilities is served in our school. Children who benefit from our programs have been diagnosed as having learning disabilities, high functioning autism, other health impaired (primarily ADHD), and multi disabled. Cognitively, our students range from cognitively delayed to gifted. In each case the student's strengths are emphasized while needs are addressed and compensat

Its 32,500 square feet of space provides for classrooms, a clinical suite, a speech and language suite, science labs, a media center, field house, broadcast studio, visual arts studio, occupational therapy treatment area, as well as a "Great Room" and stage for Harbour community gatherings and performing arts presentations. The Harbour School Career Center is located at 1933 Severn Grove Road near Annapolis and only minutes from our main building. There students receive specific job training and experience in food service, building maintenance, wood shop, horticulture and landscaping and office practice. Facilities for a full assessment of vocational skills are also located at the Harbour Career Center. High school students are transported to the Career Center during the school day to receive work adjustment training.

This week the Annapolis Garden Club kicked off the year by catching and tagging monarch butterflies, like we posted about last week in Ms. Lewald's and Ms. Cheskis' class! Students and staff enjoyed getting outdoors and contributing to a citizen science project that helps researchers better understand monarch migration and conservation. The photos really capture the experience!

Stories Worth Telling continues this week as we celebrate 45 years of The Harbour School. Over the next 45 weeks, Dr. Linda Jacobs will share memories, reflections, and stories from Harbour's journey—giving us a glimpse into the people and moments that helped shape our school.

#5 The ask: What has been the thing/event that has brought you the most joy after starting this school?

Dr. J's response, the tell: It's the kids. It's always been about the kids. I started Harbour because, like Colonel Sanders, I wanted to do special ed right. I know he did chicken.

The kids make me feel like I am some kind of hero. They call out my name in the hall. They act like they are seeing someone special when they see me. I love to watch when their self-concepts not only improves but excels. When they will tell you they are smart. Or when I say, "I am glad to see you". And they respond, "I know". It breaks me up.

When the kids go all out for prom. Or at the swim parties when they are just themselves having fun with each other. The school is all about the kids and they bring joy.

We are excited to celebrate an incredible accomplishment by Elisabeth! Last school year, Elisabeth read Eleven by Tom Rogers in English class. When the author invited students to submit reflections for a special edition of the novel commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Elisabeth shared her work—and it was selected for publication.

Elisabeth's writing will be included in the new edition of the book, and a snippet of her submission can even be seen in the online sample. Congratulations, Elisabeth, on this outstanding achievement!
