In Harbors, schedules are created collaboratively with the student’s team, and are revisited frequently with the goal of increasing student engagement over time. In addition, the team works together to create and implement an educational path that aligns with both district requirements and student interest.
Harbors uses an experience-based learning model that provides rigorous, authentic educational experiences, helping students develop academic, personal, and college- and career-readiness skills. Through community-based coaching, therapeutic support, and individualized instruction, students gain the knowledge, confidence, and practical experiences needed for future success while taking ownership of their learning.
