Our School
Mission Statement
We are thoughtful about the individuals we serve and the future they bring. We aim to create authentic, collaborative, and human learning environments that reveal and empower the best in every person. The Harbour School’s mission is illustrated in each unique member of our community.
In recognizing the importance of experience, we are not alone.
Nothing is in the mind that is not first in the senses.Thomas Aquinas
Anything that we have to learn to do we learn by the actual doing of it.Aristotle
Our Core Value
The Learning Experience Comes First
Experience is defined as “an event or occurrence which leaves an impression on someone” and we view it as paramount to the learning journey.
Lifeworthy Learning
The important skills and attributes learned at school are those that will be used throughout a lifetime.
Redefining Rigor
A new set of rigorous classroom expectations is evaluated in terms of the intellectual, personal, academic and creative challenge of an experience, rather than the passive absorption of historically-driven expectations.
Invested in the Individual
Know that each person within our community comes with a personality, a history, a set of preferences, goals, specific talents and potentials. Everybody doesn’t fit the same mold. We endeavor to find and reveal each individual’s best.
Community Oriented
We are part of our family, our neighborhood, our school, our city, and our global community. We strive to be responsible and joyful members of each.
