subject: Harbor Country Day School: A Wonderful Private School Experience On Long Island Awaits [print this page] Housed in a beautiful, elegant North shore of Long Island mansion known as Tulip Knoll, Harbor Country Day School is simply a beautiful and warm environment for teaching.
Within these surroundings, you will feel the palpable energy of many individuals working together as a community.
Probe a bit more in depth in the Harbor world and you will encounter eager students performing at a level (academically) that comes as a direct result of dedicated faculty and a great staff. You'll also find a broad curriculum that challenges our best students as well as those in the most of need.
Our program is integrated, allowing for in-depth study of related subjects at the same time in various classrooms. While fifth grade students are reading historical fiction in English, they may be studying the same time period in social studies and learning the music and art of the same era. We differentiate our instruction at every opportunity, allowing us to teach to individual skills and talents; based on continual assessment, teachers can monitor individual progress with ease, allowing assessment to drive instruction.
This wonderful school called Harbor Country Day is compact enough to pay attention to the smallest details, to be able to teach to each individual student, and to create that sense of independence in all of the students that attend.
Our motto, Sine Labore Nihil (Without Work, Nothing), underlines that hard work is the key to achievement. Teachers and students alike, we enjoy our work in our small community, and we have plenty of fun along the way.
Call Christopher C. Pryor, Head of School at 631.584.5555 for an appointment to learn more about how Harbor Country Day can make a difference in your child's life.
