My kids attended for seven years and left when we hit middle school. It's a different school from where we started. We entered for a wholesome environment and strong academics.

Harley has a reputation for the arts, but they have quietly become a powerhouse in STEM education. Many of the STEM teachers have doctorates and taught at the college level. They challenge students to achieve at a high level while providing them the foundation to think intuitively about math and scientific principles.

The school has been a joy and a wonderful resource for my son. He is blossoming into a curious and engaged preschooler. It's an investment, certainly, but an investment in something priceless. We hope to stay with Harley for many years to come.
