My husband and I moved our three children to southern California several years ago and looked at all of the area schools. We sent a couple of the children to our local public school as well as a couple of the private schools in the area. We never really found just the right mix of curriculum, excellent teachers, great families, and great character education....until we sent our children to the Harbor Day School. The head of school Angi Evans, as well as the division heads, are personable, nurturing, polished, and well versed in all of the latest educational trends. They set an incredible vision, and the team of teachers delivers. Our kids have gotten a great balance of academics, arts (visual and performing), athletics(very inclusive and also competitive in a good way), and character. I love that good citizenship and kindness are rewarded. The awards and praise are deserved, not just randomly handed out (as in other schools we've attended)-so recognition is truly meaningful to the kids. My kids are challenged for sure. But they are engaged. They aren't just going through the motions. They are learning and on their way to being lifelong learners. Highly recommend Harbor Day School for sure.

The education our son receives at Harbor Day SChool is unparalleled from academics to art and music, languages, debate, robotics, wood shop and more. HDS allows him to thrive and be creative. The teachers are incredibly dedicated and go out of their way to make each child's experience at the school a unique one. The sense of community is beyond anything I could have imagined with multiple opportunities to get involved in the school. I would highly recommend Harbor Day to anyone looking for an exceptional academic curriculum as well as a multi-faceted and well-rounded education for their child. But the biggest plus for us is the energetic and enthusiastic spirit our son has each day as we drop him off at school!

My son and daughter both graduated from Harbor Day School. They felt extremely well prepared for high school, both academically and socially. The teachers at Harbor Day are skilled and caring, and my children have never since had teachers that they liked as much as their Harbor Day School teachers. The school also has character education and community service programs and teaches three languages.
