Harbor School
The Harbor School: An Expeditionary Learning Center is a challenging,
small, and caring middle school. The Harbor School focuses on academic
excellence and instilling such traits of character as taking initiative,
becoming responsible community members, caring for other people and the
environment, and providing service to others. We strive to provide students
with the skills, attitudes, and experience they need to be leaders, to
think independently, to gain admission to the high school of their choice,
and to make wise decisions about post-secondary education and life after
high school.
The school’s real-world approach to learning is centered on the
notion of students as professionals: students work in the field and within
the classroom as journalists, authors, historians, scientists, and mathematicians.
Through meaningful projects, students apply and refine their knowledge
and skills and demonstrate what they know and are able to do. Students
frequently exhibit their work to parents and community partners.
