Harley’s Approach to College Counseling
“Club Rush” is an afternoon every fall in the Upper School when students have the chance to sign up for clubs for the year, and each year it is very different because new clubs are created based on student initiative and enthusiasm.
Each and every year, students at The Harley School participate in HAC Athletics, and their success continues to be impressive, both as students and athletes. Our athletic program is an integral part of Harley, teaching student-athletes invaluable lessons about teamwork, time management, persistence, and competition. Our program allows them to develop physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally as they represent their school on and off the field. They grow, mature, and work hard to be the best teammate they can, while creating lifelong memories with teammates who often remain friends for life. 
Our Upper School is filled with formal and informal opportunities for students to take on leadership roles. Whether following passions or learning new skills, student-driven opportunities take many shapes.
Unlike this class, death is not an elective. Although it is one of two universal human experiences, our culture often ignores, denies, or misconstrues the true nature of death and dying. What happens when we bear witness to this natural process in the cycle of life and develop our ability to be fully present with others when they need us more than ever? It has the potential to change us deeply and fundamentally while shining a brilliant light on the path of our own lives.
This program utilizes environmentally-focused approaches to education and hands-on learning in order to foster the next generation of leaders through a lens of sustainability and problem-solving.
At Harley, our students learn how to evaluate social systems in order to identify complex problems in society through a lens of social justice. They take a hands-on approach to working for a fair, equitable society by researching, exploring and evaluating different perspectives, and offering solutions—both theoretical and practical.
Students may create independent studies with supervising teachers throughout their Upper School experience or, during Grade 12, they can design Capstone projects—intensive collaborations with Harley faculty and off-campus mentors—involving rigorous academic study and culminating in public presentations.

Discoveries Every Day
Perfect for Three-Year-Olds
Our full-day program combines a hands-on, experiential learning approach with a developmentally appropriate thematic curriculum. The ratio of students to faculty is 7:1, and each classroom has two teachers who specialize in early childhood education.
Discovery and outdoor play allow children to take advantage of Harley’s 25-acre campus, including an organic microfarm, nature center, and playing fields, along with the brand-new Winslow Natural Playground & Outdoor Learning Center.
Real World Applications of Skills
We focus on allowing the children to experience real-world applications of essential life skills at a young age. Our weekly assembly provides students with the opportunity to present and speak publicly in a fun, supportive setting, and, of course, parents are encouraged and always welcome to attend. Our partnership with families is an essential part of our School.
Specifically designed for 3-year olds, our experienced faculty guide children through a program that cultivates curiosity and builds the confidence of young learners.
Our Schedule Works for You
The Nursery program at Harley was developed for your child, and designed with you in mind.
Our School provides children with positive experiences learning about themselves, being in a group, making observations, and problem-solving.
