Overview
Harbor Country Day School is a nonprofit, independent private school for children ranging from preschool through eighth grade in Suffolk County, New York.
Harbor students approach learning with confidence that only comes from feeling deeply connected to their teachers.
They embrace the rigor of a challenging curriculum because they are taught how to work with purpose, and how to refine self-advocacy skills.
Opportunities for public speaking, community service, athletics, cross-divisional mentoring programs, upper school leadership retreats, and social-emotional learning programs help students realize their full potential as individuals and as leaders.
When they leave Harbor, students are fully prepared to master the challenges of secondary school, college, and life beyond.
Ivy League School combines excellence in education with strong character development.
Expectations are high and students work in enriched learning environments.
