School Day

WELCOME

We are delighted you’re considering Harker’s lower school for your child’s education! There are many ingredients in the “special sauce” that makes Harker an extraordinary place to learn and grow. The depth and breadth of our curricular and extracurricular offerings allows students to find and follow paths as unique as they are. We have an incredible support network in place: teachers, counselors, coaches, librarians, nurses and administrators all are completely invested in our students, and you’ll find them willing partners in caring for and guiding your children as they move through their years at Harker, prepare for college, and go on to make a difference in the world in their own special ways. At the lower school, we provide a nurturing and supportive environment, and a unique system of tailoring to be sure that your child is placed just right in his or her classes and feeling great about school. Your child will love our Eagle Buddies program, too, which pairs third graders with sophomores in a fun partnership that continues until the older buddy graduates. Harker students share a deep love of learning, are motivated, curious, dedicated, kind and respectful young people. We invite you to join us in the lower school.
