Our graduates possess the intellectual capacity, self-knowledge, and good character to be difference-makers in our ever-changing world. The student journey begins with a toddler’s first experience with independence and ends with an Upper School student who has fully engaged in the education process, is inquisitive, responsible, and compassionate. Harborlight alumni know themselves and are ready to engage their world.

Authentic Montessori

Multiage Classrooms

Values, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
Harborlight is a diverse community where each person is respected for who they are and what they bring to the community.
