Harbor is like a second family where children thrive under the caring, nurturing and personalized attention or our dedicated and skilled administrators and faculty. At Harbor, we educate the whole student in an environment where every facet of your child’s learning experience is enriched with proven, yet innovative instruction – where traditional teaching methods combine with leading-edge technolo
gies to inspire and cultivate your child’s personal best. Even our exciting summer camp program upholds this objective. Our goal is to give your child an experience, not just in academics, but in life…to build character, arouse a love of learning, and develop strong leaders and individuals destined to be truly fulfilled, contributing adults. We encourage our students to strive for excellence, embrace their natural curiosity, think analytically, and articulate their thoughts with clarity and confidence. We want them prepared for whatever lies ahead. Our best evidence that the Harbor program works can be seen in Harbor graduates. When they leave Harbor, they leave with a strong academic foundation and the confidence to succeed in the next phase of their education and beyond. The Harbor imprint lives on as they move through their secondary education, college and on to successful careers and lives. No doubt, well after they leave the Harbor family, Harbor students continue to fondly recall our beautiful, 11-acre campus situated on Long Island’s Gold Coast of Suffolk County in the Village of Head of the Harbor. Founded in 1958 by conscientious and energetic parents, Harbor continues to uphold their vision by offering a challenging and engaging academic, cultural and recreational experience in a warm, friendly and family-like community. For over five decades, a Harbor education has remained synonymous with an exceptional education, long-lasting friendships among students, and the enduring effects of dedicated, highly accomplished teachers and administrators each of whom knows each of Harbor’s students by name.
