Our Campus

Discover the spaces where Harbor students learn, explore, create, and grow.

A Campus Designed for Learning

Harbor Country Day School's ten-acre campus is a place where childhood is celebrated and curiosity comes naturally. Nestled in the welcoming community of St. James, NY, our environment supports both academic excellence and personal growth. Every space is designed with children in mind; students are greeted by name each morning, establishing a supportive, close-knit community where they feel safe enough to take meaningful risks.

Historic Roots, Modern Opportunities

For generations, Harbor has helped children build strong foundations for the future. Originally built in 1910 as a grand estate, a group of committed parents revitalized the property in 1958 to establish our school. Today, timeless architecture and mature trees create an environment that feels both deeply established and inspiring. While we honor our history, our modern classrooms support hands-on exploration and innovative teaching designed for a changing world.

The New STEAM Center

Our state‑of‑the‑art STEAM Center represents Harbor’s commitment to future-ready learning experiences. Connected to our historic foundation, this contemporary academic wing empowers students to think critically and solve real-world problems through engaging, project-based discovery.
Inside the space, students collaborate across science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics to bring big ideas to life by:
  • Designing, building, and testing solutions in the dedicated makerspace.
  • Exploring robotics, coding, and engineering through interactive challenges.
  • Creating functional prototypes using 3D printing and emerging technologies.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

Some of Harbor's most meaningful moments happen outside the classroom. Across campus, students gather, create, play, and explore in spaces designed to enrich every part of the school day. Whether performing on stage, competing on the athletic fields, or discovering nature, students develop confidence, creativity, and a strong sense of belonging.
