The Harley School opened in 1917 with ten mothers creating an educational opportunity for their four year-olds. Today we serve 3- to 18 year-olds, preschool to Upper School commencement. A donation to the school today renews that same spirit, demonstrating your support of a unique educational experience for each of our students. We invite you to join the many parents, alumni, and friends who contribute to the growth and vitality of the place so many call “home.”
Today, we’ve grown to a school of 500 for children ages nursery to grade 12. Harley has been fortunate in the last decade or so in that supporters have helped us upgrade most of the facilities on campus, most recently including The Commons (devoted to education for a sustainable future), the Winslow Natural Playground and Outdoor Learning Center, the Moore / Brown Center for Creative Media, and the Peckham Wellness Center. We turn toward our second century as strong and vibrant as we have ever been.
Better is possible… At The Harley School, joy in learning is at the center of all we do. We are a community of educators and students who have a passion to learn and to impact the world around us. We encourage curiosity and inspire discovery. Our unique approach delivers a challenging academic program that creates a diverse and close-knit community while nurturing students’ strengths and helping them reach their full potential.
At Harley, we believe the best education comes from a place of joy, freedom and creativity. Joy in learning is at the center of who we are and all that we do. We encourage curiosity and inspire discovery. Our students are individuals, our faculty are dedicated, our community is diverse, and our history is strong.
Students in all grade levels at Harley participate in service learning. From our youngest students who collect canned goods and nonperishable items for a local food cupboard and animal shelters, to our highest grade level students who volunteer in hospice homes, it is important for our students to serve the larger community.
Service learning is required at Harley and all students participate in service projects to introduce and educate them about the value and satisfaction of community service. Each class or homeroom completes its service commitment in a different way.
For Upper School students, a service learning designation will be made on the transcript for any student who documents and submits a minimum of 20 hours of service. Students who want more involvement may join the White Key Volunteer Club, which regularly offers opportunities to do work both in school and in the larger Rochester community. Members keep a log of their volunteer hours at church, school agencies, or other organizations. Students who have volunteered 100 hours or more of service over a given year are recognized with a White Key Award at the Honors Assembly each June.
We are a diverse, inclusive school. We provide a balanced education that prepares our students to meet the challenges of tomorrow and lead lives of great purpose.

The Harley School in New York City has provided my child with an excellent education. The American curriculum has been well-structured, and the teachers are supportive and helpful. My child has made great progress academically and personally. We are very satisfied with the quality of education at The Harley School.
