My child attended The Harvey School for 3 years and it was a fabulous experience. I wish we started him there earlier. The school teaches to each student's needs and offers a wonderfully supportive learning environment. My child absolutely LOVED the robotics program and had the opportunity to travel all over the country for competitions. This increased his confidence tremendously. We're really going to miss The Harvey School after graduation!!

The school psychologists did not work with us, instead trying to force my child to get to school even after we had communicated that she would struggle with getting back to school due to PTSD.

Harvey Is spot on with their commitment to students and their needs. "Rigor with Heart" is their motto and it lends itself to all aspects of your child's education. Academically the school has multiple ways of meeting your child exactly where they are at. In fact, because of the small class size and...
