THS is a model for providing a 21st-century education for typical, advanced, and gifted children while also providing support to students with areas of weakness. We have created an environment that provides a comprehensive, integrated education building on a strong foundation of core skills to develop a global cultural literacy in science, history, technology, and the arts in an atmosphere of kindness, flexibility, respect, and individualism. Our first twelve years have shown that a community of learning can be exciting, fun, rigorous, compelling, and creative. In addition to a structured approach to math, reading, and writing, we use an experiential approach in areas such as science, history, and the arts. Students at THS are active, learning many things through experimentation, project work, discussion, or action. They have built and monitored coral reefs, started companies, imported coffee, designed and built a school in Africa, created computer games, and much more. Our students learn through authentic production and solving real problems.
At The Harbour School, we embrace experiential learning—a hands-on educational approach that transforms student engagement and academic success. Our curriculum is intentionally designed to provide students with extensive opportunities for hands-on learning.
