"Children learn more from what you are than what you teach." W.E.B. DuBois
Harborlight Montessori School actively seeks qualified students, faculty and staff to reflect the diverse backgrounds in our community. Harborlight strives to provide an enriching curriculum and educational experience for all students, recognizing that global teaching and learning helps form strong, positive self-concepts and develops respect for human differences. The School's curriculum and philosophy encourage understanding and respect for these differences while affirming fundamental similarities of humankind. Our cooperative community protects and encourages the exploration of new concepts. It also honors and nurtures the curiosity of each child in the educational pursuit of understanding equity and social justice.
All members of the school community are valued for their contributions, talents and opinions. The philosophy, curriculum and administration of our programs aim to create an inclusive learning environment with respect to economic background, gender, race, national and ethnic origin, cultural heritage, religion, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, and political beliefs. Harborlight integrates diversity and character education in each learning opportunity to empower students to actively approach each new experience with courtesy and acceptance.
