PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST SCHOOLS IN HISTORY
Submitted by other on April 07, 2017

My younger daughter has been attending this school for two years now, and I am thrilled. I attended an open house three years ago when she was going into PreK, and fell in love with the program immediately, but it was only when I learned that they offer financial aid that I thought it was even a possibility for us. She didn't have a lot of contact with other kids until she was three, and then went two three different schools in three years (a summer program, a PreK, and then Harley), so she had some adjustment issues. I can't imagine any public school being willing to work through that with her, but her teachers at Harley were, and the fact that they have a Primary (K and 1 together) program meant that she had the same teachers in the same classroom for two years, which gave her some needed stability. I really hope we can afford to keep her here through her schooling, and send her brother here also.

We are currently in our seventh year at Harley. There is no greater investment we could make in our children's lives. We have a fourth grader and an eighth grader. Every day I can see the differences that Harley makes in our children. Just the leadership qualities being instilled in them alone are amazing. We are not wealthy people by any standards, we are not alone in that aspect of Harley parents. We are just people who believe in investing in a superior quality education for our children that will make well adjusted people throughout their lives.

The school has been a joy and a wonderful resource for my son. He is blossoming into a curious and engaged preschooler. It's an investment, certainly, but an investment in something priceless. We hope to stay with Harley for many years to come.

Harley provides the best education in town. Well worth the tuition. One visit and you will feel the warmth and community that is present. The kids have so many opportunities. Academics are rigorous, leadership is solid and visionary, students are happy. Even in these tough economic times, Harley parents have stayed at the school and found it worth it, beyond expectation. We happily make sacrifices to give our two children the best around. In the wake of so many local school closings and enrollment declines, Harley's enrollment is still at the top.

My daughter attended Harley for 15 years. It was a superior education in every way. Harley offers an authentic educational process that teaches depth rather than breadth and is intellectually demanding; its emphasis on creative problem-solving is a way of life at this wonderful school; learning about and practicing compassion is an intentional part of the curriculum; and the arts program is unrivaled in western NY. Where else do you get glass-blowing and nboat building? The faculty is well-educated--- intellectually curious--- open-minded-- friendly--- fun--- and zany!

My son entered Harley at Gr. 8, and is now a junior in college working on an engineering degree. He was very well prepared to attend his first choice college, earning many credits through Advanced Placement courses at Harley. This wonderful school has given him confidence and a love of learning that will be life long. Thank you, Harley!

Harley is a little jewel of a school community! Our child is thriving and blossoming at Harley. Each child is valued and respected and appreciated for his or her uniqueness. Teachers understand that each child learns differently and they work diligently to make sure each child meets success. Each child is treated as gifted and talented. Its imaginative curriculum far surpasses what the public schools offer for children in the "gifted and talented" program. The bar is set high-- the mantra is to work hard-- do your best-- and bring your best self to school every day. While it is expensive, it is worth the sacrifice our family makes every year to keep our child enrolled at this outstanding school.
