My son started at The Harvey School in Fall of 2020. In that time, I have seen him grow into a self-advocating, thoughtful, and bright student. My daughter just started high school there and after 2 weeks she is thriving - you are NEVER the new kid at The Harvey School. It's a welcoming community for parents as well with so many opportunities to be involved and get to know the caring faculty and staff. Enrolling my kids at The Harvey School was the best decision for our family.
