My son had a wonderful experience in his 7 years at Harford Day School. The small class sizes and staff who genuinely cared about each individual student made a huge difference in his education. The curriculum is challenging and high quality, but the teachers were absolutely phenomenal! I cannot say enough positive things about the teachers and staff. There are plenty of extracurricular activities to join, and students are encouraged to participate in many different things. As a parent, I could not have asked for a better experience for our family.
