Our Mission
At Harford Day School, learning is a joyful process rooted in respectful relationships, strong traditions, and an innovative program that fosters confidence, imagination, curiosity, and engagement with the world.
We believe that children grounded in the fundamentals of learning can reach great heights. A child’s early school experience shapes everything that follows. We nurture a love of learning in every child, cultivating young minds to demonstrate strong character, personal responsibility, and creative problem-solving skills.
Understanding and respecting one another are essential to our shared future.
Hard work and personal responsibility are necessary to progress in every realm of our lives.
Speaking and acting with principle are the most powerful means through which we all may thrive.
Connections among us provide wisdom and strength.
Our ongoing growth as individuals fulfills an obligation to ourselves and to each other.
Growing up in a Preschool to Grade 8 school community provides a child with the continuity, security, and loving support that allows them to blossom with self-confidence, character, and life skills that go beyond academic learning.
Fostering a love for learning and inquiry is central to these early grades. Field Study opportunities complement an academic program focused on mastering fundamental skills and learning to think critically.
We know middle school students require instruction and practice in communication and collaboration, and so we provide lots of it, in settings as varied as the art studio, the science lab, the lacrosse field, and the math classroom.
Take the first step toward your child’s success.
