About Harvey
we're happy you're here!
Harvey students are curious, passionate, intelligent, kind, engaged, creative, thoughtful, funny, dedicated, athletic, adventurous, friendly, welcoming, life-long learners. Our students are all that and more!
Because there is no one type of Harvey student.
Sir William Harvey, our namesake, discovered the mechanics of blood circulation. So you might not be surprised that a Harvey education provides academic Rigor with Heart. Since 1916, we have inspired students to pursue what interests them, and instilled a desire for greater knowledge, intellectual curiosity, and broader perspectives.

WE BREAK THE MOLD
We strive for every student to boldly go forward with the courage to explore, excel, and become their best selves.
We challenge the "academic pressure cooker" mentality in which students feel overwhelmed and emotionally and mentally drained under the weight of a rigid curriculum that doesn't allow for self-discovery or self-worth.
Our students thrive knowing they have a safe place to learn, to try, and to make mistakes on their way to reaching their true potential.
We want our students to be who they are.
OUR STUDENTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Giving students the opportunity and space to discover what they are truly passionate about has everything to do with accepting students for who they are.
When students feel seen and heard, and connect with their teachers, they feel motivated to challenge themselves to learn and grow as students and as individuals.
That's when students become who they are meant to be.
IT'S YOUR EDUCATION
Our students chart their own individualized path to achieve their highest potential, letting their curiosity and passion lead the way! They don't have to choose between being a scholar, an artist, or an athlete -- they can be one or all of those things and more. When students feel in control of their education, they are excited to challenge themselves to keep learning and excelling.
Our students love coming to school each day.
IT'S TIME TO THRIVE!
