School Notes
- Harmony's core curriculum was founded on a combination of Montessori, Waldorf, and Inquiry-based learning. While mindful of roots and mission, we continuously consider adjustments and expansions of our program in the effort to offer a rich, exciting, and multifaceted experience for our students.
- At Harmony School, we feel each child's unique qualities should be nurtured. We view each child as an individual with needs and abilities that differ from other children. Every child has his or her own learning style, special talents and unique gifts. We individualize instruction to address each child's special qualities.

School Reviews
5 7/24/2015
Overall an outstanding school - curriculum is unique blend of philosophies, kindergarten is well-above public school programs and the elementary school is one-of-a-kind with weekly field trips, hands-on learning experiences and fantastic experiential learning opportunities. Very small class provides one-on-one time with superb instructors.
Endorse Harmony School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
