Admission Process

At The Harris School, we believe every brilliant mind learns in its own unique way. We welcome students who may have felt misunderstood or out-of-place in  traditional schools, perhaps because of challenging behavior, a touch of extra energy, or just needing a different approach. We focus on celebrating each student's strengths and nurturing their talents in a caring and understanding atmosphere. We celebrate each student's  individuality and believe in their full potential.​

We want  to make your application journey as easy and stress-free as possible! We offer rolling admissions, so your application will be reviewed promptly (usually within 2-3 weeks). The sooner you submit it, the more time we  have to get to know the amazing things you bring to the table.
Don't  hesitate to apply early – we can't wait to meet you!
