Small groups and the use of technology allow children to progress at their own pace.

At The Harbour School, the average class size is 13. In each class, we have at least two adults: one certified teacher and one or more co-teachers. (Co-teachers are college graduates with an interest or background in education, but they may not be certified as teachers.) In addition, we offer pull-outs for small-group or individual work in areas of specific abilities, need or interest. Our high teacher-student ratio allows teachers to individualize the method of teaching to suit the abilities, interests and learning style of each student. Our small class size permits teachers to spend a significant amount of time individually with students, assessing their learning and teaching them strategies that will develop their capability to learn independently.
