Admissions

Anchored in Connection, Ready for the World. Discover what makes Harbor different and explore the pathways to join our vibrant learning community.

Finding the Right Fit

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions your family will make. At Harbor Country Day School, we believe that the admission process should be thoughtful, highly personal, and entirely centered on finding an educational home where your child can truly thrive.

Harbor is an intentionally close-knit, Preschool 2 through Grade 8 community where students are deeply known, valued, and fiercely championed. We reject the notion that a school must choose between emotional warmth and intellectual challenge; here, they are absolute co-requisites. Taking a holistic approach, we seek curious minds and kind characters, inviting your family to experience an environment where serious academic growth is fueled by genuine delight rather than heavy pressure.
