Hallmarks

INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING
Small class size means all students receive individual attention. No one falls through the cracks and everyone can develop an individualized approach to learning.

HANDS-ON THEMATIC UNITS
Students are deeply immersed in every aspect of their learning through subject-integrated thematic units that foster stronger connections between concepts and lasting understanding.

TRAVEL STUDY & OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Students venture outside the classroom and beyond our island. Connecting academic lessons with life experiences cultivates lasting bonds and builds independent thinkers.

SERVICE LEARNING
Service to our community and our environment is part of school life. Students play an active role in determining opportunities that benefit the world around us - demonstrating responsibility and compassion.

INTEGRATED ARTS
Dedicated arts instruction is part of every child's education.

INSPIRING YOUNG SCHOLARS TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR WISDOM, COMPASSION, AND PERSONAL BEST IN THE CLASSROOM, THE COMMUNITY, AND THE WORLD.

"I reflect back on my journey as a student and can say with conviction that Harbor School had a profound affect on who I am, what I desire to do with my life, and how prepared I am for the adventure ahead."
- Oakley, Class of '13

"Not only did Harbor School give me the academic foundation I needed to succeed in high school, college and beyond, but it also nurtured in me a sense of community and a desire to help the world around me."
- Sophia, Class of '01

Inclement Weather Policy

Weather conditions may require us to cancel school, to delay the start of school, or to end the school day early. Our closures will be for both campuses and will mirror those for the Vashon Island School District (VISD). If VISD is listed on any news outlet, then our school will follow the same procedure. Harbor School office will communicate cancellations via email, our website and social media sites on Facebook and Instagram.
