We had a wonderful experience at Harbor Montessori School, where all four of our children attended over 14 years. The staff are professional, highly trained/educated, and dedicated to nurturing each child by creating a positive and prepared learning environment following the Montessori pedagogy. The school grounds and classrooms are beautiful and the school community, as a whole, takes great pride and care in their school. The administrative staff and Head of School are warm and welcoming. They are essential in fostering a supportive and effective educational environment for staff and families. They work collaboratively to implement policies and ensure that the needs of both students and faculty are met. Their leadership promotes an inclusive school culture that encourages the holistic development of young individuals, guiding them academically, socially, and emotionally. With strategic vision and day-to-day management, they play a key role in supporting the school's mission and vision, ultimately supporting the growth and success of each student. Harbor Montessori School truly embodies its "Learn, Connect, Grow" core values. These three words beautifully exemplify the essence of a nurturing educational experience for children and supportive partnering with families and staff.Alumni parent and continued supporter since 1998

I have a middle schooler at HCS, this is his second year with the school. We hope to have him go through high school at HCS. The class sizes are very small, which allows each student to really shine and hone their god-given talents. The teachers are very dedicated and creative. The different grades work together on various projects, including the Christmas play. The music program is very unique. The preschool program is also top-notch!

My son attended this school from 2nd grade through 8th grade after we found he was not getting academic and social support in our local public school. He was well-above average academically but struggled making friends socially. St. Nicholas was a breath of fresh air for both he and our family!! He blossomed socially because the classes are small and the school culture promotes love, caring and support to each other. He grew even further academically because the classes were small and the teachers could challenge him with higher level work. He graduated from this school and was admitted to Bellarmine Prep starting in advanced classes his Freshman year. We love St. Nicholas. Four years later and I still volunteer in many ways to support St. Nicks!
